Job Description

Hello! I help other entrepreneurs to find, hire, and train their own Virtual Assistants. Each client I work with has different needs, but hours can range anywhere from 5-25 hours a week. Several of my assistants have taken on multiple clients so they can work from home full time. So whether you are a mother who just wants to work when kids are napping, you are looking for additional work beyond your day job, or you want the ability to work from home full time, this could be great for you! In 2020 alone, I have helped nearly 60 clients find their assistants! 

Requirements

Currently, most of my clients are doTERRA leaders. So you would likely be supporting one of them if hired. This position is completely administrative, but also creative. These are just a few of the requirements for this role: 
  • You must absolutely be techy. You will be extremely overwhelmed in this role if you are not. Basic things like turning any file into a clickable link, scheduling a Facebook post (not just making a post, but scheduling it for a later date), and scheduling a zoom meeting are the most basic of tasks. You would be expected to do much more than that with more challenging programs (like Canva, Wavoto, Tailwind, Trello, Project Broadcast, website editors, email marketing software, and more). We will teach you a lot of these systems, but if you don't have even the basic skills, this won't be a suitable role for you.
  • You are a master organizer. You will have several "balls in the air" with this role and you will need to thrive on catching them. Your employer is hiring specifically to have help in keeping things organized and to help them not forget things. 
  • You must try to commit to at least 1 year in this role. We totally understand that it is impossible to predict the future and know where you might be in a year from now. However, we are hoping to hire people that will try with the best of their knowledge and abilities to commit to at least one year in this role if at all possible.
This Might Be Right for You If...
  • You love essential oils and doTERRA (or you are willing to learn!)
  • You can take an overall vision and immediately see all the details needed to accomplish it. 
  • You do exceptionally well with little guidance (especially since these are typically work-from-home positions). You would likely have a weekly meeting, but beyond that, you would need to manage your own tasks and time throughout the week without being micro-managed. 
  • You can adapt and be flexible if something comes up suddenly that needs your attention. 
  • You have the confidence to ask questions and remind your employer of things they've said they were going to do. (Seriously, we cannot stress this one enough.)
  • You acclimate well to new systems and technology. You can watch a video tutorial and duplicate steps. Once you are taught, you don't need a lot of help from there on out. This is incredibly important. If you are not fairly techy, this position is not for you. Please do not apply if this doesn't sound like you.
  • You geek out when it comes to organizing things. You naturally create systems of success and can visualize the detailed steps needed to accomplish a project. The thought of managing things with multiple parts energizes you.
  • You walk into an office supply store and get excited ;) 

Common Responsibilities

  • Create images on Canva.com for social media (templates are pre-made, no design skill necessary to use Canva). It's an added bonus if you have design skills, but not required for all positions.
  • Attend weekly calls with your client (time and date is decided together).
  • Social Media Management: scheduling posts, creating Facebook Groups with units, team recognition posts, respond to messages/comments, member approval
  • Event planning: manage registrations, advertising, taking notes for team calls/events, coordinating with vendors, and more.
  • Upload recorded videos from webinars/calls to YouTube or Vimeo then share the link with appropriate team members.
  • Ship packages, recognition letters, samples, or prizes
  • Manage emails and all team communication
  • All things Google Drive (creating forms, generating shareable links for documents, Sheets, Docs, etc)
  • Google Calendar: managing a shared calendar
  • Scheduling appointments
  • Create virtual newsletters
  • Manage team promotions
  • Help manage Trello boards
  • and more
Bonus Responsibilities
Some of my clients also want a social media manager/strategist. It is not required to have this experience to apply, but it certainly helps get you in front of the right people who want/need that skill set. Here are some of the 2.0 skills that some people want:
  • Hashtag strategy
  • Strong knowledge of Instagram (reels, subtitles, stories, boosting posts, analytics, highlights, bio links, engaging with your clients audience, increasing followers, etc...)
  • Facebook or Google ads
  • Scheduling apps (like Later, Tailwind, or Planoly)
  • Blog management and spilling into socials
  • Copy writing
If you ONLY want to be a social media manager/strategist and not a VA, mention that in the application.

"I can't thank Megan enough for connecting me with my current client. The whole process was very professional, organized, and I was fortunate enough to be matched very quickly with my client and we've been working together for 1.5 years! Megan is SO knowledgeable when it comes to business and I always felt like she had my back if I had any questions or concerns. The training was very helpful and I still refer to it at times. I would absolutely recommend working with Megan!"
