Can you help me find Paul the world's very best virtual assistants?

Permies and the Paul Wheaton Express are growing by leaps and bounds, and we're in need of a few new hands to spin plates/push boulders/cross i's and dot t's.  

I started a new thread about the opportunity here:
   https://permies.com/s/be-pauls-va

And we made a new questionnaire for people who might want to be considered for the role here:
   https://permies.com/s/fancy-va-questionnaire

My questions for you, dear co-conspirators, are as follows.
Do the links work?  Did you get where you were supposed to go?
How does everything look on mobile?  On desktop?  
Any ideas to make the thread better/clearer/more fun?
   - does it give you enough of an idea about the gig to know if it would be right for you?
   - what would make it better?
Any ideas to make the questionnaire better/shorter/clearer/more fun?
   - If you had to cut a question, which would they be?
   - If you had to add a question, which would you add?
   - If you were forced at shovel-point to add some pop and giggle to the survey, what would you come up with?
And my last question - you're hearing about it first, folks.  Are any of you interested?  If so, jump on the questionnaire and let me know!

Please, leave me any and all feedback right here, and know that you are greatly and eternally appreciated!

The questionnaire is great, made me giggle several times. I wouldn't make it longer or shorter. It's just long enough and meaty enough to weed out those who aren't serious, and the tasks set are a good guide to how someone might manage the job.

The thread looks good. It says a lot about the job and gives a good idea of the sort of flexibility a candidate would need. I though there was a missing link which was what I came to mention but on second read I see I skipped over something!

I'm not looking for the job, my plate is overfull already! But it looks like a great gig for the right person.

Links worked. Everything looked good on mobile.

I sent the links to a colleague!

The application form was awesome and clever.

What’s the least amount of hours you’d be willing to take someone on? For instance, I’d like to dabble to help the movement and maybe keep some of my skills sharpened and learn some stuff (both about business and permaculture), but I think I’d only be able to do 2 hours a week. Or on the flip side are there things you wish you had someone to assign to that aren’t time sensitive that might need a dedication person to do gradually over time? And/or could I say I do “these” types of tasks only and so get stuff to do as overflow when you need extra help? For example I’m good in events or webinar/workshop moderation, or responding to inquiries that need done timely but may don’t take much time.

I don’t know. I’m brainstorming out loud trying to figure out how to plug in and help out. I’ve got lots of skills!!

The links work fine.

Personally, I would move questions related to salary to the end of the questionnaire.
I would prefer to know  your expectations and duties first, before declaring my expectations.
Apart from that, awesome :)

Just at first glance.....due to my strange sense of humour, there were too many answers for each question that would apply .

It looks like an awesome opportunity and I would LOVE to apply, but I can't afford to quit my full time day job at this point, which makes me sad.

Do you think there might be some opportunities to do grunt work for shorter periods on evenings and week-ends?

YES they did

That is so subjective - it looks clear enough but still very small to read for such a large document

Beau Davidson wrote:On desktop?  

 Lovely

   - does it give you enough of an idea about the gig to know if it would be right for you? Yes, vey descriptive indeed.
   - what would make it better?

 All too subjective questions

Writing a new bio for Paul - Google: About 2.240.000 results - it would be extremely hard to come up with something very fresh or not used - which wouldnt be the goal of the task would it. I also think it would be close to impossible to do the task justice unless you had met Paul in person, but that's just me.

bringing desert, what are you bringing? I am diabetic with a rare brain sugar complication caused by my cancer - would be too upset that I couldn't eat the dessert so wouldnt bother!!

   - If you had to add a question, which would you add? Nothing

   - If you were forced at shovel-point to add some pop and giggle to the survey, what would you come up with?

I wouldn't, I'm not a pop and giggle writer or person - I might be fun in person sometimes but not just for the sake of it - it's a hard personality trait to force.

I did, and enjoyed doing it, but after family review I wrote you and asked you to delete my questionnaire.  Careful reflection of my health, mental capacity and state of my cognitive rehabilitation would - we thought - lead to disappointment on both sides - and my pyschosis leads to awful outcomes when I feel that I have failed or let others down.

Best of luck to you Beau - and indeed to everyone who applies. I have worked as high level PA and Aide in the corporate and military worlds and assisted good friends in setting up their own persia/arabia/european VA service in their company over 10 years ago. So I understand the needs and the challenges for everyone involved.  Sincerely, best of luck all round.

Links work fine

The quote of Paul explaining the va job is interesting at the beginning and appealing.

But there is much much repetition which makes it much longer than it needs to be. More concise would be easier to understand.

Sounds like there is a lot of need for more people to shoulder the load with you. Glad you are reaching out to develop your team!!
