JOB OVERVIEW

We are a growing government contracting company that partners with subcontractors across the United States. We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented virtual assistant to join our team full-time.

Main tasks will include:
Researching new contract opportunities using provided websites and tools
Contacting our list of subcontractors to confirm interest in bidding on projects
Providing clear, complete information to subcontractors so they can give us accurate quotes
Following clear, step-by-step instructions for each task

Important:
Your main priority will be following our process exactly as trained. We are NOT looking for someone to redesign or change our workflow at this time — just someone who can listen, learn, and execute with attention to detail. Improvements can come later, once you master the basics.

Answer each question in full sentences. Number your answers clearly. Do not skip any questions.
What is your understanding of what a virtual assistant does?
Describe a time when you had to follow very specific instructions. What did you do to make sure you didn’t make mistakes?
How do you keep track of tasks to make sure you don’t miss any steps?
Why do you think attention to detail is important in research or outreach work? Are you a cat or a dog person?
How comfortable are you communicating professionally with different people by email or message?
What would you do if you didn’t understand part of an instruction you were given?
Why do you want to work in a role where the main focus is following exact directions?

Work hours mostly flexible, but you must be able to respond to messages during US business hours when needed
Paid training provided
Long-term opportunity — we want someone who will grow with us

To apply:

Answer all questions above in full sentences.
Include a short introduction about yourself.
Use the subject line: “KB Standard VA Applicant – [Your Name] [Your least favorite color]”
Applications without the answers or with missing information will not be considered.
