How to Hire a Virtual Assistant Using Onlinejobs.ph Part 3

Okay. I have had a whole bunch of responses. Here are about 25 unread responses. That is not even including, obviously, the ones that I have already read. These are the responses to all the letters I have already written out – the messages I have sent.

That being said, what I am going to do is I am going into my Jobs Posted and I am going to change this up. So, initially I just posted this very basic thing. But, I am going to add a sentence at the bottom of the Job Description “To apply for the job: 1. Send me a message with a few sentences on why you would like this position. Then, 2. Change the subject line to ‘I want to work with you.’” That will eliminate some of the riff raff.
So, let’s go back to the messages. Let’s look at this. As you can see, a bunch of these people have no subject line. I think if they have no subject line, I am probably just going to delete it. They are probably not that good of a candidate. But I have been interviewing people. What I am probably going to do is go through here and see who I should send my Skype message to.
Another thing I thought about and I may implement in the future is instead of saying, “Hey, would one of these times work for you?” is sending them to a link to like a calendar so they could pick which time works best for them because right now, the scheduling has been kind of a pain in the butt. So, that is where I am at right now.
I just want to update you that I should probably change the posting and have some kind of qualifying factors. Make them answer a few questions. I already have a few with what you want to do but I think having them change the subject line and write a paragraph on why you want the job would be good.
