Frequently asked questions

A few things to know before you start.

Is this a full-time virtual assistant job?

This page describes assignment-based remote work. You take on individual tasks with a defined scope and deadline; it is not an offer of a salaried role or guaranteed hours.

Do I need previous experience?

Requirements vary by assignment. Basic organisation, clear writing and confidence with everyday online tools are a useful starting point. Choose briefs that match your skills and check for any specific experience requirements.

What tools will I use?

Depending on the brief, you may work with email, calendars, documents or spreadsheets. Check the required tools and access before accepting a task, and use only the accounts and files authorised for that assignment.

Can I choose when I work?

Choose assignments that fit your availability, then complete them by the agreed deadline. Scheduling or support tasks may have a specific time zone or response window, so check the brief first.

Are assignments or earnings guaranteed?

No. Available work depends on demand and your eligibility for each assignment. Your earnings depend on the tasks you complete, their payment terms and approval of your work.

How is payment worked out?

Payment is tied to the assignment rather than a fixed monthly salary. Review the amount, approval requirements and applicable platform terms before accepting. Check your account for current withdrawal methods and limits.

Can I work from my phone?

A laptop or desktop is recommended for spreadsheets, research and working across several tools. A phone may be useful for checking updates, but it may not be suitable for completing every assignment.

What if instructions are unclear or a revision is needed?

Ask for clarification through the available support or assignment channel before making assumptions. Check your work against the brief, and address any requested revisions according to the assignment terms.

Will I need to send emails or make bookings?

Only when the assignment explicitly authorises it. Some tasks ask for drafts or proposed schedules only. Confirm the scope and any approval requirements before sending, booking or changing records.

Is there a subscription or access requirement?

Assignment access may depend on your subscription plan, as described in the platform terms. Review the current plan details and any costs before joining. A subscription does not guarantee work or earnings.
