Virtual Assistant For Online Law Firm (Training Provided)

I'm looking to hire a virtual assistant with strong English fluency to join my team and work in my law firm for 32-35 hours/week. No prior legal experience necessary. Training is available. The work hours will probably be 10 AM to 5 PM CDT Mon-Fri. You will get off at 1PM CDT on Friday. This allows you to get your weekend started earlier.

You will need to answer the calls that come into my law office occasionally. You will need to make calls to the US through my phone system occasionally. You will have to talk to people to gather information from different court personnel and courthouses and/or check on the status of cases that you are working on from time to time. You will be using a VPN to access certain websites in the US. I will provide you the VPN to use. This is very important because some websites won't allow you access if you are accessing the website from a different country.

You will need to have a quiet working environment because you will be interacting with clients and court personnel. Therefore, your workspace must be free of extraneous noise. Examples of noise would be family members talking in the background, babies crying, family members watching TV, Family members gaming online, dogs barking, etc. This requirement should be obvious since you will be talking on the phone to clients and professionals who work in the courts, etc.

Also you will need to keep track of client files and the status. This means you must be detail-oriented and have the ability to think logically. You will have to be well organized to keep track of the different stages that the clients' files are in and know how to use Google docs, Gmail, Google Meet, Slack, Loom and the ability to learn some other applications. You must be a person who pays very close ATTENTION TO DETAIL because you will be editing legal documents and they must be accurate. The team will consist of you, me, and three other VA's. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CREATE A VIDEO THAT IS 1-2 MINUTES ON LOOM AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND LET ME KNOW WHY YOU WOULD BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS POSITION WHEN YOU REPLY BACK TO THIS JOB POSTING.

We can discuss pay if you are chosen to be hired. You will have trial period of up to three months to see if you're going to work out with the team and if you are a good fit for my office. I pay twice per month on the 1st of the month and the 15th of every month. There is a growth opportunity for you as my firm has grown from one (1) VA to three (3) VA's currently. I need to add a person to my team, and that's why I'm posting the ad. I'm looking for someone to work permanently with me which means this a long term job and not a job that lasts for a few months or a couple of years. I require honesty and loyalty, and I will reciprocate the same in return. You will need to work exclusively for me; otherwise, do not apply for this job. Also, if you are not detail-oriented, please don't apply. It's very important that you have strong organizational skills and very detail-oriented, and can read well. English fluency is a must, and you must be able to write in English. You must have good internet connections, and I would prefer that you seldom have power outages.

Please don't send me a prewritten generic email that you send out to the masses because you're just applying for any job that is posted. I'm looking for someone who wants to be apart of a team that is dedicated to the work that I have and is not working as a VA for someone else and me at the same time. As I stated you must be a detail-oriented person. I'm going to delete any response that I receive that I believe is a generic email not written specifically for this job posting.

Please send a proposal with why you want to work for me and why I should hire you over all other candidates that are applying for this position. Also, answer the following question: 2 + 2 = ? If you miss this simple question, it tells me that you are not detail-oriented enough and are not reading carefully, which is a huge requirement for this job. If I contact you, I will send you part 1 of some tasks that I will ask you to perform. If you pass the first task, I will send you another, and if you pass that, I will send you a third, and if you pass that task, I know that you are capable of doing this job, and then we can move to a face-to-face interview that we will do online on Google Meet.

I go through this process because it will reveal to me if you are the right candidate for this job, and I don't waste time, and you don't waste time if you're not well suited for this position. This position requires skills beyond working in a call center, sending out emails for employers, making posts to social media accounts, or booking trips for your employer. It is a very challenging job and requires you to be able to think critically and logically and read and be able to discern details in documents that you probably are not used to doing in some of your previous jobs.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
