Seeking Personal/Business Assistant

[ckboddic]

Job Description: The person hired for this job will ultimately assist me in managing aspects of my daily life and managing certain aspects of my business operations. Location/Hours/Pay: The job is located near Asok BTS. It will be a full time position from 10:00 am to 6 pm. Salary will be 20000 baht per month. You will be paid 5000 baht weekly. Job Length: I will be living in Bangkok for at least one year.

Job tasks include (but aren't necessarily limited to):

Activity arrangement - I want to make the most of my time in Thailand. I want to fill my time here with as many exciting experiences as possible. Part of your job will entail coming up with exciting things for me to do when I'm not busy working. An intimate understanding of happenings and nightlife in Bangkok - and good knowledge of the city itself - is definitely an asset. For example, you will be responsible for booking restaurant reservations and occasionally planning my schedule for the nighttime.

Thai and English Correspondence - I will likely ask you to speak on the phone whenever I need to communicate with someone in Thai. Since I can't speak Thai, you will have to be my Thai communicator/translator throughout the workday. Sometimes you may be responsible for writing emails to my friends and family.

Shopping and Errands - Everyday I will ask that you pick up lunch or buy groceries/food. Sometimes I may need to have dry-cleaning picked up or something mailed or faxed and I would ask for you to help me with that. Computer - Oftentimes I'll ask that you look something up online so it's important that you're computer savvy and know how to navigate Google. Graphic design, web design, and/or programming experience will be viewed quite favorably (though not mandatory). Research - You need to be able to research things online. For example, I might need to know what the best dry cleaners in Bangkok is or where is the cheapest place to play golf in Bangkok. You will be responsible for figuring these things out. Trip planning - Sometimes I will need to go to Hong Kong for business and I'd ask that you'd help coordinate the ticket buying and hotel booking. During this time it's likely I'd have you work in Thailand. Of course, there would probably be a lot less work for you to do since I'm not there (of course, you'd still get paid the same as if I had been in Bangkok). Coffee/tea/water - Sometimes you will be responsible for making coffee/tea and bringing me water when I am on the computer.

If you're interested in this position, please send a PM with your resume/CV with photo and contact details or call 0890168836.

Job Requirements: Must write and speak English and Thai fluently. Computer competency a must. Must have good social skills. University educated. Positive attitude.

Helpful but Not Mandatory: Having your own car would be very helpful. Having your own laptop computer would be helpful.
