We are hiring Entry-Level Weekend Virtual Assistants to provide crucial administrative support to our clients, offering an excellent wage of $42/hr.

A Day in the Life

Your weekend begins, and so does your flexible workday. You log in to see the task list your client has prepared. First up is organizing their chaotic digital files in Google Drive into a neat, logical folder system. Once that's done, you move on to their inbox, clearing out the clutter from the past week, responding to simple inquiries with provided templates, and flagging the few emails that need their direct attention on Monday. Your final task for the day might be to schedule a series of social media posts for the upcoming week. You work independently, transforming a list of administrative chores into completed tasks. Your efforts over the weekend directly contribute to your client's productivity and peace of mind, all while you enjoy the autonomy of a remote, weekend-only job.
