Overview

Do you love checklists and working with structured assignments involving marketing and customers? Do others compliment you on your attention to detail because it comes naturally to you? And are you comfortable with tech (for example social media, WordPress, MS Office Suite, and ZenDesk)? If you said yes to all three of those questions, then I think you’ll love this opportunity!

 For the past 18 years, I’ve been helping job seekers around the world discover and win great jobs using an unorthodox method called the Flipped Resume. I’ve been using a part-time VA for customer support for over 1 year and she’s amazing. Unfortunately, her hours are limited and she can’t take on more work.

My JobHuntingSecrets.com website is currently undergoing rebranding which is something you’ll be helping to implement in the first month. About Me: http://www.jobhuntingsecrets.com/about-jhs/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/ijenkins

I’m looking to expand my impact using video content on multiple social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and our WordPress blog. Would you find it exciting to start with the best practices of posting videos on these platforms and make the process even better with time?

Of course, making a big splash on social media means making waves and that comes in the form of comments and questions. You’d take the lead on answering those questions with your empathy and excellent English skills (your first language must be English). This will leave both prospects and customers smiling.  

What’s it like to work for me? I’m VERY organized and expect you are as well. I pay on-time using PayPal. I like showing the way, but then expect you take the lead on getting things done once you’ve mastered the task. I like to be updated daily so that I know that the small things that make a difference aren’t falling through the cracks.

Here is a Trello board I created for my customer support VA. (https://d.pr/i/xBebbq) Each card has a standard customer response + explanation + tutorial video which helps her answer about 90% of the questions that come from customers. Do you like that kind of structure?

My home/office location is in Oslo, Norway, however, I market specifically to job seekers in the U.S. Working from the Eastern time zone (anywhere there’s a good Internet) allows our workdays to overlap. My goal is to systemize this video marketing process so it’s low-stress for you.
