Ongoing Virtual Assistant For Tech Job Search

Job ID: 40582811

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

Virtual Assistant for Job Search Support (Ongoing / Long-Term)
As a dedicated job seeker, I'm looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Virtual Assistant to support my job search on a consistent daily/weekly basis. The goal is to increase the volume and organization of applications to relevant opportunities while I focus on interview preparation and other priorities. Because many of my target roles are in software engineering and IT, some familiarity with these fields is important so that job matching and application tailoring are accurate.
Key Responsibilities
Research and identify suitable job openings on major platforms (LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages, etc.) that match my target roles, skills, and preferences. Assist with preparing and submitting job applications (including tailoring where appropriate using provided materials). Maintain organized tracking of all submissions, including job links, dates, status, and any responses received. Provide regular reports (daily or weekly) with clear summaries and proof of work completed. Suggest improvements to the job search process based on trends observed. Handle basic follow-up tasks or research on companies/recruiters when requested.
Requirements
Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. Good written English and professional communication. A basic working knowledge of software engineering and IT concepts (e.g., understanding common roles, tech stacks, and terminology such as front-end/back-end, APIs, frameworks, and programming languages) so that job matching and light tailoring are accurate. Experience with job search platforms and application processes is a big plus. Reliable internet connection and ability to work consistently (ideally 2–4 hours per day or as agreed). Proactive and able to work independently with clear instructions. Comfortable using Google Sheets/Docs or similar tools for tracking and reporting.
Preferred
Located in India, Pakistan, or similar time zones (flexible on this). Previous experience as a job application assistant, reverse recruiter, or career support VA. Prior exposure to the tech/IT industry, or experience supporting job seekers in software engineering roles, is a strong advantage.
Deliverables & Expectations
Consistent daily or weekly application volume (target to be discussed — e.g., 15–40 relevant applications per day depending on scope). Clear, timestamped reports with lists of jobs applied to and status updates. High-quality, organized work rather than rushed low-effort submissions. Long-term potential if the collaboration works well (this could become an ongoing part-time role).
Budget & Duration
Open to hourly rates or fixed monthly retainer. Preferred: reliable freelancers offering competitive rates for consistent, high-volume support. Start with a trial period (1–2 weeks) to evaluate fit, then move to longer-term if successful. Project length: ongoing / long-term preferred.
How to Apply
Please send a short proposal that includes: why you're a good fit for this role; your relevant experience (especially any job search, application, or VA work, and any exposure to software engineering or IT); your proposed hourly rate or monthly retainer; and your availability (hours per day/week and time zone).
Bonus: share a brief example of how you would structure a weekly tracking report, or any past similar work samples (anonymized is fine).
I'm looking for someone reliable and hardworking who can help make my job search more efficient and organized. Looking forward to your proposals!
