A virtual assistant is generally self-employed and provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients remotely from a home office. Tasks involve Microsoft Word, social media management (Twitter, Facebook etc), blogging, customer services via e-mail.

These are services I need myself, and I actually was about to hire someone from Fiverr, but had a rethink and thought it might be better to sow a seed into the life of an inclined job seeker to make a career out of this. So I decided on n experiment: I would like to train someone to work with me as a VA - pay for them to go on a course if need be, but also allow them to be free to work for themselves and seek supplementary work. I will assist them in finding regular international clients for this purpose, and also personally commit to providing them with a minimum of $100 worth of work monthly.

All I seek is someone who is reliable, has reliable internet access, great organisational skills, and is an articulate writer. This is not a position for anyone who wants to get rich quick. It is a position for someone who wants to control their own destiny and grow better, adding more skills to their portfolio and making money while doing so. If you own a blog, even better.

If this interests you, please PM.

Thank you poster.That's very thoughtful of you.I will love to do the job and I know I can do it very well.I love learning and I learn very fast.i love any work that has to do with computer.I read accounting but I have this passion for computer and internet.I am an honest person.the pay does not necessarily matter,at least there is "something"at the end of the day.I am presently doing nothing which is not healthy for me at all.salvame

You can still apply.


Thanks to everyone who has applied so far. I've started contacting those who I think sound good for the role, and should reach out to all selected candidates by Friday. Apologies, I'd like to notify you sooner, but I'm extremely busy and have been going through your CVs and cover letters one by one.

Some notes:
- In your CV, your date of birth and state of origin aren't necessary.
- There's no need to create a separate document for your cover letter. Your email body can be your covering letter.
- I really don't need your marital status, honestly.

All the best.

cheesy I'd say that's grounds for disqualification right there.
