Virtual Executive Assistant with Strong Spreadsheet Skills (Required Skills Assessment)

READ THIS FIRST: Only proposals that include our completed skills assessment will be reviewed. Details below. Proposals without a working video link will be declined without being read. We're a US-based consumer products company (fishing tackle, e-commerce and retail). Our CEO needs a sharp, detail-oriented virtual assistant for approximately 20 hours per week, with room to grow. What you'll own: - Executive admin support: inbox triage, calendar management, scheduling across US time zones, travel booking, expense tracking, and document organization in Google Drive - Data and reporting support: maintaining spreadsheets, pulling and formatting recurring reports, order and inventory data entry, and keeping pipeline trackers up to date Tools we use: Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets), Slack, Shopify. Experience with any of these is a plus. Strong Google Sheets or Excel skills are non-negotiable, which is why we ask every candidate to complete a short assessment before we review anything else. REQUIRED SKILLS ASSESSMENT (5-10 minutes of work, unlimited prep time): 1. Open the spreadsheet here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R_DiAp6wkcoL73Ra0-siiR4-7qtwzdG2/view 2. Make your own copy or download it. 3. Review the Instructions tab. There are 4 tasks: three PivotTables and one VLOOKUP. 4. Record your screen with audio while you complete the tasks. Narrate what you're doing and why. Recording must be 10 minutes or less. Most people finish in 5 to 8. 5. Upload the recording to Loom, Google Drive (set to "Anyone with the link"), or YouTube (unlisted). 6. In your proposal, paste (a) the public link to your video and (b) a view-only link to your completed spreadsheet. Disqualifiers: no publicly accessible video link, tasks not completed, or video longer than 10 minutes. Retakes are fine; submit one final version. We review every submission that follows the instructions. This assessment is our first interview, so treat it like one. Requirements: - Excellent written English - Strong Google Sheets / Excel: PivotTables, VLOOKUP, clean formatting - Reliable internet and a quiet environment for calls - Available for at least 3 hours of overlap with US Central Time - High attention to detail. To show us you read this far, begin your proposal with the word TACKLE.
