Virtual Assistant

I am a US entrepreneur that owns a luxury men’s clothing boutique. I am looking for an exceptional virtual assistant who will answer directly to me. I communicate mostly by phone or text message - not email.

My expectation of you will be that you will perform a wide range of tasks, including but not limited to general administrative tasks including creating and editing forms, blogging/copywriting for my websites, following up with customers, posting ads, web or phone research.

The three most important qualities you should have:

1) You should be a genuinely awesome person. This means you are honest and trustworthy.
2) Excellent written and verbal English skills (you will be blogging and copywriting, and may be taking sales calls or speaking with clients - don't worry, they are rarely upset).
3) You should be very organized and able to work autonomously and responsibly on your own (once I've given you initial instructions).

If you don't know how to do something, or have trouble understanding my instructions, please ask. Although I am looking for a skilled and confident VA, I realize that we all have holes in our knowledge - I'm sure I will occasionally dazzle you with the things that I don't know or haven't noticed! I am far more interested in your approach to what you don't know and the steps you take to improve than any inevitable challenges you may encounter.

If you have little or no accent, that would really be an asset, and you may be taking sales calls and making calls to collect information from current customers.

The following skills are not necessary for the position, but would be assets:

MS Office Suite
Infusionsoft
Gimp

At every job that I have had, regardless of my position in the organization, the single most important factor in my happiness has been my relationship with my team members. For this reason, I'm looking for someone who is passionate about achieving great things and likes to have fun while doing it. If after reviewing all of the applicants, I select you for a Skype or WhatsApp interview, I encourage you to ask the kind of questions that will help you figure out if this position and specifically working with me is the right fit for you. I know that if the job is the right fit for both of us, we will achieve better results

Initially, I expect the position to be part time (~10 hrs/week), but if it is the right fit, this will grow into a full-time position.

Expectations:

Although the position will initially begin as part time, the successful applicant for a full-time position must to be willing to work 10am-6pm Eastern Standard time .
Daily report provided to me at the end of each work day.
Google voice number.


Skype or WhatsApp account (I will expect that you will be available to text or chat on this account during work hours).
Resume including all relevant prior experience, including samples of writing you have done for a previous job (at least three sample would be ideal).
No agencies or companies. I am looking to work directly with an individual.
Character references from previous supervisors who worked directly with you (at least two).

Thanks and god speed !
