Summary

We are searching for professionals in Latin America to work online as virtual team-members for the clients of Elite Virtual Desk, a start-up based in Florida, USA.

Are you a good fit?

Our typical profile of a member of our team will be a bilingual university graduate or soon-to-graduate student. They are comfortable with writing and speaking in English and other languages such as Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Chinese, etc. They are smart, maybe not with a lot of technical experience, but definitely with heaps of common sense and the ability to learn fast. They will be computer savvy and familiar with Microsoft programs, Google tools, and communications apps.

They will also have their own PC (laptop preferred) and smartphone, and a stable internet connection and a quiet place to work uninterrupted at their home or place designed to work. They also have a backup place they can easily get to should there be a power cut or internet failure in their zone.

Working virtually or from a home office is not for everyone. A lot of people need an office environment to work productively, but if you can work independently with minimum supervision, being home-based with flexible hours and no direct boss can be really satisfying.

Before applying please, consider if you illustrate the following characteristics:

Communication
Our clients are not in the same room, they are on the other side of the world. Regular and clear communication is vital; you always need to be available to answer client’s messages.

Punctuality
We require our team members to show high levels of punctuality. One cannot be late, miss virtual meetings, or fail to deliver on pre-agreed deadlines.

Reliability
How many days did you call in sick last year? How many times did you cancel a meeting with your friends at the last minute? How many uni/work deadlines did you miss? If the answer to the above questions is zero, you are in the right place.

Honesty
Sometimes the time you spend on tasks is hard to measure and you could get away with doing less. We want the type of person that this doesn't matter to because they work hard even when no-one is watching.

Initiative
If you don't know how to do something, can you find a solution yourself?

Hard-working
This is not a regular office job. With remote working, the client needs to see results every hour of every day.

Direct
Our clients are very busy, and usually, they're avoiding outsourcing services from India and Asia where a common problem is for people just to say "yes sir" to impossible request and then fail to deliver. We want team members who understand that time is money and only promise what they can achieve, and if they see a problem, they say so.
