Aussie Personal Assistant to keep me organized

$15-25 AUD / hour

$15-25 AUD / hour

I need an Australian (no exceptions) PA to cover for a Melbourne-based consultant - Melbourne Timezone. I don't need a full-time PA and you don't always need to be available. Estimated 10 hours per week to begin with, it will increase over time if you want. You'll work with another PA who covers the nigh hours... so there's some tag-teaming between "shifts". DETAILS: I need a PA to keep me organised and take an active role in handling my clients and the 10+ contractors I hire. FLUENT English required. No exceptions. You'll be tested. This work can be done from your computer and I only need you to be available for short periods of time throughout the day to send an email, or to chat with me about tasks. So you are able to do other work for other clients. You need WhatsApp: I generally leave voice messages via WhatsApp asking you to respond to an email, follow up on a contractor, etc. I need someone who can: - Handle all my emails and respond on my behalf. This will require you calling me and asking what kind of response is required, or I might get in first with a voice message telling you what I need. Over time you'll learn more and more and be able to respond yourself. - Organise tasks that my contractors need. - Follow things up... you'll need to keep yourself organised so if you're waiting on a response from someone and you don't get it... that you follow them up or contact me to say you've received no response. - Remind me of things I need to do that I said I would do for a client or contractor. I've spent 20 years working as a consultant and I need to reduce the amount of time I spend typing / staring at a computer screen, and definitely need to spend less time chasing up contractors who say, "yeh I'll get that done by tomorrow morning" but never do. IMPORTANT: I am looking for someone who is reasonable tech-savvy. Many of my emails are about website development. It's preferable if you understand these concepts on a technical level. You won't be doing this technical work... but you will be liaising with contractors who are doing this technical work. NOTE: If you have marketing experience (design, print, copyrighting, etc) then that helps as well - but not totally necessary. Example: I'll route certain emails from my project management software to you. You contact me on Skype / WhatsApp and tell me what questions have come in from a contractor. I'll explain what my reply should be and you type / send the reply Example: A certain email might be asking for some information that can easily be found on Google somewhere. You find it, and send it to that person. Example: I said I'd handle a particular problem but you see that nothing has been done yet. You contact me to ask why I haven't done it, or if you should update the other party to let them know I'm delayed. So it's all quite basic PA stuff, mostly typing / emails, but you MUST be able to ensure everything is followed-up on so things aren't forgotten. This job MAY lead to more "office management" work where you handle more and more of my correspondence, research, planning, co-ordinating my calendar, etc. It all depends on how good you are! To apply, please outline your experience with I.T, marketing, and of course PA / typing. Outline your availability and confirm that you can voice communicate using a smartphone app... AND please tell me the capital of Thailand in your application... and confirm that you speak FLUENT English

I guess Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. I'm not sure though. Hey mate! I've gone through the description and I meet all the requirements you need (at least I think I do, it's up to your assessment next). I've an experience in a similar role with "Web Developer Sydney". It's a Parramatta based Web Development firm. My roles there included answering calls, following customers up, responding to online queries and quoting prices for the project (after consulting the manager). I did this for 6 months before I left Australia. Other than this, I used to work at a servo and a warehouse but mentioning the details of that experience is unreasonable here. I've got an excellent command over language. I'm not based in Australia right now but I will be coming back in end-2018. I have access to smartphone and 24x7 internet access and can respond immediately to any message or query. Given the time difference, I'll be available from 6am to 6pm (Sydney time). I'd like to know further details over messages please. Thanks

I'm an Australian, taking time out in Japan, after 9 crazy years in Hong Kong. The capital of Thailand is Bangkok and I hope to hear from you soon. 200 characters is not sufficient to summarise a bid! Relevant Skills and Experience I most recently ran an APAC customer service team for 3 years, in the pre-employment screening industry. I can string a sentence together and enjoy being on top of things for other people.

Hi There! I hope that you are well. The capital of Thailand id Bangkok. I am an English native who has been a freelance writer, editor and proofreader for over four (4) years. I have never been hired as a PA in previous years seeing as though I graduated from university a year ago, and therefore during those years I had only been freelancing as part time. However, I am an experienced and hardworking individual who always does every task given to the best of my abilities. In addition to this, I am a fast learner as when faced with something I am not familiar with, I will easily adapt if given the opportunity. I am available to work as required, I am tech savy, will be able to use a smartphone at any time, and will be able to handle your emails. Let's chat as I am sure I can be of great service to you. Regards, Niekeisha Young.

Hello, My name is Kylie and I am an Australian Native living in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne Victoria. As I am Australian I speak fluent English. As I work for myself I am always available to answer phone calls and emails. 10-15 hours per week at this stage is suitable for me. In my professional life I was a Sales Manager , I also did scheduling for trade people and ran a large sales team. I am more than comfortable answering emails and helping with project management. I am used to dealing with trades people, clients , employees and getting things done in a timely manor. I have Whatsapp. I also can get a new Skype account , as other contractors have previously had me use their private networks. While I am not completely proficient in website development , I can talk to people who are. For example, one of my contracts was organising IT Managers events all over Australia on behalf of Community Marketing Australia. I spoke with heads of large IT and Telecom organisations. I also got information of their topics of choice for the evening. While I didn't understand everything they outlined I did take note and learn from them. I am sure the longer I work with IT personal. My marketing experience not only comes from my sales management experience, I also work with small businesses to help them with copy writing and social media marketing. Thank you for taking the time to read my application. The Capital of Thailand is Bangkok. Kind regards, Kylie

Hi, Firstly I am Australian but i am currently doing some travel, I am based in South East Asia right now, so timezone is still friendly for anything in Australia and I am planning on being here for the next 6 or so months, so there will be no issues at all with working during Australian time zones. I will admit that a PA would be in some ways new to me but in other ways, I have much experience due to owning and running a successful business for the past 8 years (i sold this business 4 months ago to travel more) during this time I have been very tech savvy as we were a leader of change in the industry. Other experience includes staff management, developing systems, business automation, payroll, admin, and basically everything that goes with running a business from start up. Although you will probably get many more inquiries for this position from people with experience in this exact role, I believe that I would be a great asset to you if you are looking to reduce your workload while increasing your business interests. I am more than happy to have a chat via whatsapp etc if you have any questions Regards Adam

Hi there, I read through your job requirement and I am quite comfortable that I can do the job. By profession, I am a licensed financial advisor but I have been a VA for more than 7 years now. Just to give you a brief background, I had the privilege to work for clients in the US ( time management software startup) as a customer service representative, in Ireland ( graphic startup company) providing admin support, HR personel, and Personal Assistant to the CEO. Furthermore, I have worked with a famous tattoo artist in Perth as personal VA. I have also worked for a financial advisor based in Singapore ( as an all around VA) and micro-managing client's other VAs based in the Philippines. This being said I would like to highlight that I am very tech-savvy. I may not be a developer but because of my exposure with these kind of people, I am a bit familiar already of the jargon. Besides that I am also a kind of person that understands English well, and I am a great communicator. I make sure that I follow through carefully conversation making sure that my client won't miss a thing. I am also good in nudging those needed to be chased. I have high sense of initiative so you wont have a problem in monitoring me, tho I ask questions if needed. Should you be interested, we can discuss more to find out the set of skills I have and to assess if I can contribute to your business in any way I can. Speak to you soon!

I am an Australian with over 20 years EA and Travel Consultant Experience. Proven track record in Sales, so I understand the importance of follow-up. Strong written (and verbal) communication skills, ability to work flexible hours via Smartphone App (as requested) and always willing to learn new skills and knowledge. Past experience includes supporting a team of Consultants and their clients. I live on the mid-North Coast of NSW, so same time zone as Melbourne. Finally, the capital city of Thailand is Bangkok. Is this a trick question?
