My present-day engagement and successive business expansion demand the role of a Personal assistant who will help support my workload in order to establish timely delivery of services and attendance to Important matters. The sensitivity of this position warrants the officeholder to be upright, responsive, accountable, trustworthy, empathetic, persevering and honest.

I am looking for someone that is ready to start the job as soon as possible, this job is flexible so you can do it wherever you are and I don't mind you doing all of the tasks during your spare time.

Mostly you will work for 2-4 hrs twice a week. I will start with $500 as your weekly salary. I think that is a good salary for a start and I really need you to start today or tomorrow if you are ready to work, also if you can work with little or no supervision, for now, email me with the following information so I can reconfirm your readiness to get started. This is just an illustrative message, soon as I'm back in the states in three weeks time, I will arrange a proper meeting for us both, during which proper documentation will be done. I have a couple of things you could assist me with at the moment if you will be within reach for me which could act as a good start to our working relationship.
