Regular software to be used would be Google Apps for Work, Basecamp, Hubspot, Tick, Powerpoint, Google Calendar, ScheduleOnce, Wordpress, Xero, WeekDone. You'd not need to be an expert on these, but if you can't self teach quickly, you'd not be suitable. - passionate to getting their hands dirty with administrative tasks - a business sense here is always a plus, but more importantly, we need someone who won't shy away from any task and who'll find an efficient way on how to handle them. - fast learner - aside from software, we need someone who'll be fast to learn new processes, tasks, procedures, improvements, etc. - organised - a person who keeps track of their time and work, who can finish tasks in an efficient manner and is focused on adding value. - efficient - someone who's constantly looking for better ways to do the tasks, save time, improve things and organise the CEO's diary. - follows instructions - put "I'm a monster VA" at the top of your cover letter. - able to catch projects, and isn’t thrown by being thrown in at the deep end. The CEO moves at 100 mph and has new clients joining every few days, and new team members joining each week.

If you want to work with someone who will hugely appreciate your efforts, give you the best environment to grow, isn't a pre-madonna but will be committed to your growth and success, and you're able to save him time and tell him where to be and where to go, then you've got a greater likelihood of success. - fast typist - if possible, we would like to hit the 75 wpm mark. - trustworthy - if you are anything but fully confidential, please don't apply. - have a sales leaning - you will be lining up sales meeting for the CEO and for another member of the sales team.
