VA

I run a small web development agency specializing in WordPress located in Portland, Oregon, USA for the last 23 years. My business is growing so I need a trustworthy VA to work with me as my personal assistant.

I am looking for someone who can work at least 3 hours between 10:00 am to 5:00 pm – US, Pacific Standard Time Zone (GMT-8), Monday through Friday. Initially, you will work roughly 15 hours per week.

I’m not big on stress so while I will expect you to work efficiently and get things done, I focus on open communication and getting things done right the first go around. I’m a straight shooter and am very transparent.

The work is dynamic and ever-changing and you will work directly with me, the owner.

I enjoy helping people. I’m in the business of helping my clients and their businesses. You need to be a person who loves to deliver remarkable experiences to other people. You need to be someone who feels good by making other people feel good.

You need to nail down the details. You don’t need to race through work and get things done halfway. I need you to slow things down and get them done right. We’re all about quality here.

I want you to be meticulous in your work. If you are shy or quiet that is totally cool. I am not looking for the life of the party…in fact, quite the opposite. I’m looking for a good, fun person, who gets stuff done.

I’m looking for an intelligent hire with plenty of energy and a get-it-done attitude.

In addition to being a detailed person, you must follow systems and processes. In fact, just to prove that you are detailed oriented and can follow procedures, when you apply for this job posting you must include “I have found my type of job!” in your reply. Yep, that’s our little trick to sort out the people who blanket send their resumes to anyone and everyone, from the folks (that’s you) who are truly interested in this job posting.

A Zoom interview is required.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you!
