Virtual Assistant Jobs on Elance

Gas is still pretty cheap in the states, but it’s creeping up there. If you have a variety of basic office skills, a virtual assistant job could be for you!

When you are getting started on Elance, you might want to take a little less than you might normally, just to get started. But after that, you can boost your rate up, though there are still plenty of buyers posting jobs offering $3 an hour, but wanting $12 – $15 an hour worth of experience and quality!

Here are some recent listings from Elance. These “buyers” (people or companies looking to hire a “provider”–that’s YOU!) have purchased before through Elance and use the Elance escrow program.

I need someone who can help with a few routine day to day tasks that can be handled by email. I am looking initially for 2hours per day, 5 days a week.

I am looking for an internet savvy administrator with research skills. Please specify your hourly rate.

I am looking for a internet researcher to go to specific job websites to find out who is hiring for specific jobs and then compile the company name, Human Resources decision maker, address, phone, and e-mail address in an Excel spreadsheet. Familiarity with salesforce.com would be helpful but not required.

 

NEW! VA Jobs

I have taken quite a long break! But now I’m back and ready to help you stay updated with some new VA jobs. Maybe we can afford to drive to work while gas is cheap, but when it goes back up again, be ready with your work from home job!

Elance Virtual Assistant Jobs

Telecommuting opportunity awaits! If you have a variety of office, admin and people skills, virtual assistant jobs may suit you. I always see particular niches and specialties pop up: Like real estate, medical, travel planning, etc. which may give you a little edge if you have experience in the niche.

With certain types of businesses, you may be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement or NDA. This is standard, and living up to the NDA means you don’t discuss the private info you see in the course of your work. Respect your employer by following the NDA.

So save yourself some gas and traffic stress; go find YOUR telecommuting niche! Here are a couple of recent Virtual Assistant Jobs on Elance. There is no fee to join Elance; bid on 3 jobs per month for free. Upgrade for more bid opportunities as you wish on a month-by-month basis.

• Since the VA tasks will include significant communication requirements, please bid only if you are a highly fluent native English speaker, available during business hours, with a clear telephone connection (preferably a North American land-line).
  *
• Magazine Publisher located in California, USA (Pacific Standard Time) needs Transcribing, Internet Research, and General Secretarial Support (calendaring, following up, checking in, etc.). 4 hours weekdays from July 15 to August 14, 2008.
  *
• [This one has OPEN BIDDING, so you can see what people are saying and bidding. Some will simply say "See PMB" and it goes private.]

  What I need: Someone willing to take on a slow trickle of miscellaneous research and writing projects from me over a long time. Will include some writing, possibly website updating, blog entries, e-mail correspondence, internet research, travel booking and more.

Happy job hunting (although I don’t really like to call it a job)!
