Virtual Assistant for long term position

I create businesses and need business support for my latest venture. I'm an accomplished business professional and have worked myself for top global consultancies around the world.

I spend a lot of my time working out how to make life easier for me, my clients and for the people who work for me. I’m looking for the right person to assist in running some of my day to day tasks, so I can work on building a good team and a good business.

I’m looking for the one person that is the right fit, and is willing to work with me on a longer term basis, starting with 10 hours per week. Are you this person?

As a virtual assistant you will have very strong communication skills, because without them our journey together will be more difficult than it needs to be. So if you are uncertain about the quality of your written and spoken English language skills, then please don’t apply.

I enjoy building businesses online and would like to invite you to apply for this role as my virtual assistant. You don’t need to excel in everything, but you will have experience in 3 key things as your core strengths. You can tell me about those in your application letter.

You will need to have the courage to develop some tech skills, be able to operate email and cloud based file management systems, and be able to undertake online research, organise information and follow ---------- your application tell me briefly why I should consider you. Also include in your application the best non-fiction book you ever read and why. Please also include how many hours you could commit to this and any other commitments you have (job, business, etc). Feel free to also include any questions you might have.

Please note, you may find the application process differs a little from what you might expect.

Although there will be Skype interviews, an interview alone is a poor way to assess a candidate, so I’ll also be asking you to provide further information. If all goes well I’ll ask you to undertake a short trial (fully paid) to see if there is a good fit, before making a final decision.

Don’t forget to complete your application by sharing the name of the city and the country that you live in. Please also include a recording of yourself speaking in English of 30 second length or longer (this can be you talking about yourself or something you are interested in, it doesn't really matter - I just want to hear your level of spoken English).

You can very easily (and for free) record a short clip of yourself speaking at ---------- (100% free, no setup or sign up required), and send me the mp3 in your application. Or you could also use a phone call you've completed for another ---------- te that this position commences for an initial trial period for 1-3 months. The right candidate will develop themselves as we grow the business. This can grow into a full time long term position.

Remember to address these 3 questions in your application

Why did you apply to this particular job?
What are your top three core skills that are relevant for this role?
What is your favourite non-fiction book (and why)?

If you have any questions please include them in your application and I will answer them.

Thanks,
David
