Let’s take a second to think about what tasks you enjoy doing the most at work.
If some of the tasks on that list include organizing your calendar, inbox, Google Drive folders, communicating with colleagues, proofreading, planning, scheduling or creating agendas, then you might be a perfect candidate to become a BELAY Virtual Assistant.
At BELAY, we hire virtual assistants who are detail-oriented, self-motivated, proactive, adaptable, and reliable. Our VAs are resourceful, helpful and proactive individuals who thrive on organization, planning and problem-solving.
When we broke down how to become a virtual assistant with BELAY, one of our talent acquisition recruiters described the ideal BELAY virtual assistant candidate as someone with a broad range of technology experience and a huge heart for serving.
She disclosed that throughout the interview process, we are looking to see if the candidate shows a kind, humble heart while also displaying resourcefulness, timeliness and competency.
This is the dedicated balance of professional skills and emotional intelligence it takes for our client and contractor partnerships to be successful.
A Virtual Assistant can do a variety of things for their client outside of the obvious email and calendar management, and working together to communicate and discuss goals and long-term tasks will allow you to proactively add to your weekly task lists to better support your client.
Here’s a quick list of what our virtual assistants do in the day to day and how they can benefit our clients:
