Description
Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: More than 6 months
I’m looking for an all-round-capable VA. This is both for general work, but also to help me in preparing to start up a small food business which will require a lot of research:
- someone with the ability to THINK for themselves – I am starting a business and need capable people who are willing and able to understand what the business is about and tailor their work accordingly (as opposed to people who just stoically follow instructions)
- research tasks – researching suppliers, influencers I can contact for my business, production facilities throughout Europe, compiling first drafts of job descriptions for hiring new team members or one-off services (e.g. designers for product packaging) etc
- needs to have a (virtual) PHONE line to be able to make calls, ideally with a German number attached to it
- language skills: FLUENT ENGLISH without a strong accent, needs to be easily understood throughout the world
- impeccable written English
- knowledge of GERMAN would be an advantage!
- good knowledge of Europe’s geography
- a self-starter, willing and able to learn new technology tools by themselves – this includes finding new ways to accelerate repetitive tasks
- experience as VA to the CEO of a busy start-up – understanding of urgencies and the importance each and every task can have in making or breaking the business
- the feeling of personal responsibility for any work undertaken – bringing an owner mentality to everything you touch
- any knowledge of food businesses would be an advantage
- availability required: a lot of work will be asynchronous – I will give you a task/we will go through it together to make sure we are on the same page and then you will be free to complete it in whatever personal schedule suits you and return the results to me/we will go through them together
Availability needed would usually be only during Monday-Friday, however let me know please whether you would have any availability on weekends as well (although they would be rarely needed)
I do however need reasonably fast turnaround times (I usually need research results back after a day or two) and sometimes, there will be urgent tasks as well which will require immediate attention from you. What would your availability and turnaround times be for that? Are there any particular times where you will not be available or the other way round, are there any core hours where you would be available?
- what is your personal situation? (do you have any other job, are you married, do you have kids?) – how will this affect your hours of availability?
I don’t have a problem with someone having 1-2 other clients, but I do need to know that my work will be prioritised to hit the turnaround times set above plus I am looking for someone who would have the capacity to extend the role in the long term to more hours overall and to become a full-time team member
- FYI I am based in the CET Central European Timezone, which timezone are you based in?
THE INTERVIEW WILL INCLUDE TWO SAMPLE RESEARCH TASKS SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND THE WAYS EACH OF US WORKS BETTER
