We are looking to employ an honest, reliable, self-motivated, dedicated and productive virtual assistant who provides technical, creative, and administrative services. Apart from handling the general tasks of a virtual office PA, we are looking for someone that is adaptive and highly skilled in technology to increase the productivity of our team.
For example as we open our doors, customers are going to start communicating in heavier volumes, and we will need general assistance processing those messages (social and email) with standard-ish replies and sorting out the messages needed for further action.
We require stellar English skills from anyone who would join the ---------- is important for you to also have excellent communication skills, especially written, as not only is it needed in communicating with clients via email and people on our social media channels but it is also something you will need when having conversations with other members of the team.
To apply, please email your resume to ---------- with the following caption in your subject line. "You found your perfect VA". If we like what we see, we will be in touch to arrange an interview via Skype.
