Hey! I am looking for someone to be a full time personal/business assistant. Primary tasks will be keeping business running smoothly by organizing processes, finding new contractors and freelancers to get jobs done, finding potential clients, turning potential clients into clients and repeat clients, finding a great sales team and more. I've been doing freelance work for a while now and you will be helping expand my list of services and drumming up more work. My goal is to add 5 more categories of services and increase sales immediately. This is a lofty goal and I am looking for someone who is a go getter and who can (and will) get things done quickly. This will require you to be outgoing, friendly, organized, a problem solver, creative and fearless. It takes a special talent to negotiate prices, call businesses and keep it all organized. This would be a great job for a mom or college student because you can work from home (or anywhere I suppose). The hours are flexible but we will work out a schedule. Part of that time will be during normal US business hours since part of the job will entail talking to businesses. Who I'm searching for: Excited about their job. Sometimes (ok probably a lot of the time) tasks will be mind numbingly boring, I need someone who can just get it done and gets excited about checking stuff off of their to do list. Posting ads, replying to emails, checking in on projects, sending status updates to clients, etc. Organized. Because as much as I wish I were, I'm not. You'll have to be organized enough for the both of us. Intelligent. I guess people would maybe call this common sense but what I've found is that common sense isn't really all that common. Problem solver. You run into a snag? Figure it out. Look it up. Ask for clarification. Just get it solved and move forward. Great Researcher. A lot of your job will fall into the "look this up" category. Also if you don't know something, look it up. A true researcher will know that they don't need to know all the answers but where to find the answers when they need them. Knowledge about Internet marketing. Using wordpress, social media, copywriting, etc. Versatile. Being my assistant will definitely mean doing a multitude of different tasks. From travel planning, to Internet marketing research, to interviewing clients and contractors, to data entry, I really need someone who can get it all done and keep things running smoothly. Detailed. Keep track of whos doing what, what projects need work, who needs to be contacted, etc. I should be able to look at your reports and know how things are going and what needs to be done. On time, on task. Be working when you are suppose to be, get things done and meet your deadlines. Be honest when setting deadlines. If you need time off or can't work because you have an XYZ situation let me know in advance. I can be flexible so long as things are still getting done on time and I'm kept in the loop. Fast. Seriously, I need stuff done ASAP and I don't have time to babysit. Honest. Don't bullshit a bullshitter. Don't tell me you got something done when you didn't or that you know how to do something when you don't. Professional. You will have to talk to people on my behalf either via phone or email and I need someone who can be professional. You can have a sense of humor with me, that's fine, but know how to treat clients and contractors in a professional courteous way so as to keep them coming back for more. Top Notch Negotiator. When talking to contractors to get jobs done it's your job to get someone who will exceed quality expectations as well as negotiate a fair price. Creative. I'll probably ask your opinion a lot and you'll be an integral part of my business, I want to work with someone who has good ideas on how I can make my business better either by adding a service, canning a contractor, or being more efficient. Decisive. I need someone who can make a plan, stick to it and get the job done. Social media expert. I hate facebook, twitter, linkedin, and pretty much all social media so taking care of that junk is your job. Update it daily please. Well Rounded. Seriously you're going to learn about a lot of different things, do a lot of different tasks, and talk to very different people. You need to be able to change gears on a dime. Project management skills are pretty much a must. Excellent English speaking and writing skills. If you don't know how to use your and you're properly or that their, there and they're mean different things this isn't going to be the job for you. A US calling & texting plan. I don't hangout with my email inbox all day, the best way to get a hold of me to ask questions is by text, second best is to call. You will also need to call clients from time to time. Available FT/40 hrs per week starting right away. Salary negotiable Awesome. Ultimately our personalities need to be compatible. I don't want to work with someone who hates their job and you don't want a boss you hate. You will be given a test task to take care of, it's part of the interview. The task in a nutshell will be to find a few great contractors in one area of Internet marketing who have a great portfolio and reasonable rates. I have more detailed parameters for those who make it that far but I want you to know what to expect. (If you already are very knowledgeable about one specific area of Internet marketing please let me know in your cover letter! SEO, Video creation/editing, Wordpress, Mobile sites, Mobile SEO, Android & Iphone apps, Copywriting, graphic design, just to name a few.) Please customize your application cover letter to include the answer to this question. What would you type into Google if you wanted to search craigslist.org for all the ads looking for a website made fast? (hint: Google site command) Thank you for reading and I look forward to looking at your application and speaking with you. -Natausha Please send Cover letter, contact information and resume to: [email protected]
