Looking for a reliable, resourceful person in Gainesville for a mix of local errands, project coordination, phone/computer work, and miscellaneous tasks.
This is NOT a desk-only position.
Some days may involve making calls, researching options, getting quotes, or scheduling appointments. Other days may involve picking something up, meeting a contractor, checking on a project, taking photos or measurements, making a return, or handling an errand around Gainesville.
I'm looking for someone who can be given a goal, figure out how to accomplish it, follow up when necessary, and bring the task back completed without needing detailed instructions for every step.
Typical tasks may include:
- Calling contractors/vendors and getting actual quotes and availability
- Scheduling appointments and following up
- Coordinating repairs and local projects
- Meeting vendors or contractors when needed
- Checking on projects and reporting back
- Taking photos or measurements
- Researching purchases and comparing options
- Picking up or returning items
- Running local errands
- Organizing quotes, receipts, documents, and information
- Making phone calls and handling follow-ups
- Helping make sure projects actually get completed
Schedule: Approximately 10-20 hours per week to start. Flexible schedule.
Pay: $15-$18/hr depending on ability and performance.
You should:
- Be dependable and organized
- Have reliable transportation
- Be comfortable driving around Gainesville as needed
- Be comfortable making phone calls
- Be comfortable using a computer and smartphone
- Communicate clearly
- Be able to work independently
- Be willing to handle both in-person and phone/computer tasks
- Be good at finding another solution when the first option doesn't work
Experience is less important than being resourceful, dependable, and able to get things done.
To apply, please reply with:
1. First name
2. Phone number
3. General availability
4. Whether you have reliable transportation
5. A few sentences about yourself
6. Your answer to this question:
You need to get a small home repair completed within 3 days for a reasonable price. The first two people you contact don't answer. What would you do next?
