How to Apply Please answer the following screening questions in your application: - Briefly describe your experience supporting executives, founders, or high-level professionals. What types of tasks did you manage regularly? - Tell me about a time you anticipated a need before being asked. What was the situation and what did you do? - If I give you a task with minimal direction, how do you typically approach it? - How do you prefer to communicate day-to-day, and how do you ensure you don’t over- or under-communicate? - This role involves access to personal information. How do you ensure confidentiality and discretion in your work? - Which tools have you used regularly (Google Workspace, Notion, Trello, email management tools, etc.)? - If you’re juggling multiple tasks with similar deadlines, how do you decide what to do first? - This role is approximately 8–12 hours per month across 2–3 days per week. Does this cadence work for you long-term? - What does being a “great” personal assistant mean to you?
