PLEASE REPLACE WITH ONLY YOUR ANSWERS
Why do you want to apply for a position in this company?
Why did I choose to apply for “Home Based Virtual Assistants - Training Provided”?
Money, the primary moving force in society today is the main reason I have just like everybody else, people need to survive and live a happy or content life.
Ethics, it seemed like the company is backboned not on greed like most businesses but this one, based on the ad , it asks of its candidates to be persons of intergrity, trust, loyalty, fairness, dedication, professionalism etc.
Happiness, I want to be part of a company I can be proud of and them be proud I am a part of it.
Why do you think you are the right person for this job?
I do not think I am the right person for the job but I can be the right person. I am willing to learn and work hard to get things done. It is just a question of getting it done in time, much like a learning curve. I am up for the challenge.
Do you have any prior experience?
Yes, but I have no formal training at all. I just used my personal experience and experiences I had with other jobs to fulfill the needs of the job for the clients.
Do you have a website?
Yes, I have a several blogs that I have experimented with.
What are the other skills that you are good at or can be the best in the world?
The only thing I take pride in is the fact that I am eccentric. Often misunderstood, I would like to think of it as a perception often overlooked. One very famous line says it all for me “Thinking outside the box”. I am not the best in the world at it but I like being different. I would like to think I am special in way because I can see things from the norm, twist them around and see something others might not.
What is your ultimate passion?
Family, it is what drives me forward everyday.
Are you current having any other job(s) online or offline? What are the job(s) you are undertaking? Please be VERY specific on the hours worked/days work per week and even the month.
No jobs at the moment (online or offline).
What is your current daily routine in detail with timings?
I have no set schedules at this time my hours are all open due to the fact I am unemployed at this time. If I had a job or important things to do I schedule them and keep them. I am currently a mouse potato scouring the net for jobs I can do from home so I can spend more time with my daughter.
How would you describe yourself as a person in a working environment? in terms of character and competence.
Team, I know what it is like to be part of a team, often my opinions have been regarded to be unconventional but they have made a lot of sense. Fine-tuned by the leaders that I have worked with, often watered down to please the majority, (especially management) I have always stuck to my principles being as diplomatic and cordial as possible. Although I have not given a leadership role a formal try many fo my colleagues have gone through coaching and have asked for guidance from me. The politics of being a leader when dealing with commanders who don't listen to the frontline are just too much for me to handle. I absolutely do not “kiss ass”.
Can you explain your commitment level if you are hired?
Commitment, 100% nothing less can be expected from trust that is given.
As I am dealing with ONLY serious candidates, I need full TRANSPARENCY, you will be watched every second during your full working hours, is that ok?
Scrutinized, I would expect nothing less, trust is very hard to achieve and it ensures process is always followed and quality becomes standard, mitigating any untoward events for the company..
As I expect you to practice RESPONSIBILITY at all times, I want you to choose your 9-hour working timing. (please choose times where you are least distracted and highly focused)
I will be on time and ready to work any schedule expected of me. Its a TEAM effort right?
Where do you see yourself in 3/5/10 years' time working with this company? (Please highlight if you are looking for a short term job)
As long as the relationship is satisfactory for me and for you it is expected I will be in it for the long haul.
What is your salary expectation?
At an entry level position I would say about $4 - $6 an hour.
What is your current salary or your last drawn salary (per month)?
The appointment setting/lead generation job I previously had I was about $15 a day but the company charged clients about $10 an hour.
Do you have any other source of income?
My mom helps us out and gives us about $100/month. The $15 a day I earned is simply not enough for the growing needs of my family, so she helps out.
What are your expectations for the company?
I, if you havn't read between the lines by now, expect a lot from my employer. Not only when it comes to compensation but moreso in the way they do business and the way they treat the very individuals they have tasked to help them move forward in business.
If you get selected to be a permanent staff, you are requested to NOT work for another employer, are you agreeable?
No, I will honor all commitments with the company and I will not compromise the hand that feeds me but I will still in my free time try to generate as much income as possible for my family's needs.
List the questions you have for us. (the more the better)
