Virtual Assistant for Job Search Assistance
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
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.
This is not a manual grind. You'll work on our own platform, where AI automation already handles roughly 70–80% of the repetitive work for you. Your job is the remaining human part — reviewing, confirming, tailoring where needed, and keeping everything organized. It's a much easier and more convenient working environment than typical VA gigs, and it's easy to learn.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and confirm AI-surfaced job openings on major platforms (LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages, etc.) that match my target roles, skills, and preferences.
- Assist with preparing and submitting applications, tailoring where appropriate using provided materials and the platform's automation.
- Maintain organized tracking of all submissions — 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 process based on trends you observe.
- Handle basic follow-up and light research on companies/recruiters when requested.
Who I'm Looking For
I need a specific character of person:
- Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills.
- Responsible and reliable — delivers on time, every time.
- Quick to learn and comfortable following clear instructions.
- Able to work consistently and independently (ideally 2–4 hours per day, or as agreed).
Requirements
- English at B2 level or higher is mandatory — clear, professional written communication.
- Comfortable using Google Sheets/Docs or similar tools for tracking and reporting.
- Reliable internet connection.
- Knowledge of IT / Software Engineering is a strong plus and preferred.
- Previous experience as a job-application assistant, reverse recruiter, or career-support VA is a bonus.
Deliverables & Expectations
- Consistent daily or weekly application volume (target to be discussed).
- Clear, timestamped reports listing jobs applied to and status updates.
- High-quality, organized work — not rushed, low-effort submissions.
- Long-term potential if the collaboration works well; this could become an ongoing part-time role.
Budget & Duration
- Open to fixed monthly retainer.
- We'll start with a short trial period (1–2 weeks) to evaluate fit (surely Paid term), then move to a longer-term arrangement if successful.
- Project length: ongoing / long-term preferred.
How to Apply
Please send a short, personal proposal that includes:
Why you're a good fit for this role.
- Your relevant experience (job search, application, VA, or IT/software work).
- Your proposed hourly rate or monthly retainer.
- Your availability (hours per day/week and time zone).
Please do NOT send automated bids. Generic, copy-pasted, or bot-generated proposals will be ignored. I want to hear from real people who read this posting — a couple of genuine sentences about how you'd approach the work will stand out far more than a template.
Looking forward to your proposals!
