The world's premier anti internet scam, anti fraud information website
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in the Personal Assistant position recently
announced by our company. We apologize for the delay with the reply: the
staffing company we entrusted with the search for our prospective employees
proved to be inefficient, and their recruiting methods appear to be
questionable, and we apologize for any inconvenience!
My Personal Assistant, Inc. is a certified virtual assistant company with
a head office based in United States. Our UK office is scheduled for opening in
London this summer, and we have started hiring first employees who will start
working for the company remotely, with a prospective to get relocated to London
or establish new My Personal Assistant offices in their cities.
Position Duties
Our Personal Assistants do NOT sell anything, advertise or actually pick up
groceries or laundry for the clients. We offer virtual services for individuals,
businesses and especially disabled persons, who are in need of assistance. As a
Personal Assistant your typical tasks will include the following:
- Managing email correspondence: sorting, prioritizing and forwarding
messages;
- Finding and ordering products and services online;
- Booking travel, scheduling apointments, making reservations;
- Conducting Internet research on places, services, products;
- Transcribing voice/video recordings, composing comparison reports;
- Assisting with billing, sending out payments, delivering bills.
Work Hours and Daily Routine
We offer both full-time and part-time shifts, starting at 9am GMT, Monday to
Friday. As the person in this position will be working from home, they will need
to have a computer with an active Internet connection; however, no special
software is required for purchasing, only standard office programs and a web
browser. Your day will start with logging into our online dashboard: usually you
are given a list of tasks every day. By the end of the day you must prepare a
short report on the completed tasks and send it to your supervisor through the
online dashboard. A supervisor will call Personal Assistants and monitor their
activities during the day, that's why it's essential to stay online and be
available on the phone during regular working hours. We also offer a short
online training course for free.
Pay and Benefits
We offer a base pay of BJ20,000 per year paid monthly since your start date. In
addition to the guaranteed fixed salary we also offer a system of incentive
bonuses based on your individual performance and clients' feedback. In other
words, if you meet deadlines, assist multiple customers and they are satisfied
with your services, your average pay per month will be around BJ3,000. Personal
Assistants working in the USA usually double their base salary with bonuses.
To apply for this position, please reply to this email, and I will follow up
with the employment documentation package for your review. Please note that
neither our company, nor our affiliates ever demand any entry fees, investments
or other payments in order to ensure the employment!

Good morning,
And my apologies for not getting back to you earlier: as a Junior Partner on the council I'm responsible for establishing our local office in London, so I'm travelling a lot. You will find our standard employment package in the attachment to this message: please take your time to read it, as it has detailed information on the position duties, pay, schedule, etc. Additional information about the company can be found at our website: www.mypersonalassistantinuk.com.
Just to remind you, there are 2 work shift options: you can work either part-time, or full-time; the work hours are listed in the Employment Agreement along with position duties. Being a work-from-home job, this opportunity will NOT require you to relocate to London; it will also allow you to manage your time efficiently while setting priorities for your daily duties yourself. We do not work on weekends and UK holidays, sick days are also covered by the company.
The starting monthly salary is 1,670 GBP for for part-time and 3,340 GBP for full-time, and this is a guaranteed monthly salary, not commission-based. Please note that you will be receiving salary from our US corporate account, which is why we request the banking information in the international format: a sort code of your bank an a short account number won't be acceptable. Also, until June, when our London office starts functioning, you will be working on a self-employed basis, which means that it will be your responsibility to make deductions for your PAYE/NICs from your salary.
Finally, the training: it's carried out online and takes a couple of days. I will supply you with the guides and manuals to read, explain our general procedures, and in less than 2 days you will be ready for your first clients. We'll start with a single client to get you a better understanding of the job, and then we'll see if you can multitask. I have also added a list of typical assignments for Personal Assistant to this message.
In order to proceed, please print out the Employment Agreement and the Financial Form, sign them and email back to me. If you have questions, please feel free to send them to me, plus I will be calling you after reviewing your paperwork to continue with the employment. We're looking for people who can start working with us ASAP, as we have already got a number of clients in the UK and are in need of helping hands.
