Assistant - High Level English Fluency, Speaks Visayan - Can call landline & mobile #s - Highly Organized

Thank you for viewing my posting. I operate a small business producing handwritten letters and documents for my clients. I currently have a 9 person team of writers in Cagayan de Oro who white 4,000 - 5,000 letters each week for our clients. These letters are then shipped to the US weekly.

We are looking for someone bilingual in Visayan and English, with a very high level of English fluency. You will be copied in all of my communications with my team and I need you to make sure there are no language barriers and that everything I am writing is being understood, that all tasks are known, tasks are added to a to do list and no task goes incomplete.

(If you are bilingual with a high level of English Fluency and have already applied please apply ---------- nd a detailed response including everything above and info on the things below but I’m very busy and I apologize if I missed your application or we stopped communicating.)

We also need Excel spreadsheets and other productivity resources created regularly.


I am taking my time to make this posting as thorough and accurate as possible and I’m looking for similarly detailed responses.


Ideal candidate (Requirements):
- I am looking for someone who can read, write and comprehend English with near-native proficiency.
- You must be able to Speak Visayan. My manager in CDO is most comfortable speaking in Visayan and you will go over my daily messages with her to make sure that everything is understood and followed through on.
- You must have a phone plan that allows calls to any phone, landline or mobile without issue. We can help with the cost but you must be able to call local businesses with long hold times and without concern over high per minute rates.

- Comfortable making phone calls on my behalf to source products and negotiate pricing.

- At least a medium level of proficiency with excel. The higher your level of proficiency is the better.
- Additionally please list if you you have any programming skills. These are not required but could be very beneficial so please share all tools, applications or programming skills you possess.


*Experience in the following areas is not required but would be very helpful:*
-Have you ever negotiated with Chinese wholesalers for supplies or materials and had them imported into the Philippines? Sites like Alibaba, Aliexpress and DHgate?

- Do you have experience working with major shipping companies like DHL, UPS and FedEx as well as local shipping companies?
Especially interested in people who have experience on business accounts, setting up business accounts and negotiating rates with the different carriers.
- Especially interested in people who have experience exporting to the US.


- Do you live in CDO and are you a writer? If you are interested in full-time employment then you could earn additional income as a writer. Payment is per letter so anyone experienced in high-volume repetitive hand writing tasks will do well as a writer and be able to achieve the higher end of our pay scale.
