Filipino VA: FULL TIME Google Sheets Data Entry, Research, Scraping ID-4045

We are a USA based company but you’ll mostly be working with other Filipinos. This is a stable full-time position. We have VAs that have been with us for years!

Hours are absolutely non-negotiable, so the most important thing is to be sure you can do it:

Monday to Friday, 8 hour shifts (40 hours / week)
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST, Eastern Standard Time). That is currently 10 PM to 6 AM Philippines Time, part of the year it’s 9 PM to 5 AM.
Very occasionally if you must miss work, then you may make up the time later such as for an emergency that came up, sickness, etc. After you have been here a while you are allowed to work overtime, over 40 hours. It is not mandatory though.

**AGAIN, THE SCHEDULE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE**

The ideal candidate must have experience with:

Google Sheets (Basic formula, VLOOKUP, Find and Replace & Sorting) ; Excel knowledge is okay but we use Sheets so that it’s easy to share with other staff in our Drive.
Fast Typing Speed 60+ WPM Minimum.
High Speed Internet + Have A Backup Internet For Brown Outs Or Can Show Coffee Shop With Wifi Nearby.

Job Details:

The tasks will vary so you must be willing to do anything that is needed as we are a small business that is growing fast; however, the work will mostly consist of copying (or scraping) product listings from wholesaler websites into Sheets. These items then need changed to our specific format (product name, description, price, link, and saving images with associated numbers).

We use a .csv Format to upload products into our inventory system and sometimes the source data is way different than how we need it to be, that is why Sheets experience is a must.

We will train you how to translate from source format to our format (how our customers see it).

Other work will be general VA work also mostly centered around our inventory systems. We haven’t had a VA want to resign so far, this is a great job for you if you are used to Google Sheets data entry.

🟩🧠 REQUIRED CHALLENGE / SCENARIO: Display some of your Excel/Sheets knowledge:

Given the following scenario, show (screenshot or video) how you would calculate the total cost of each SKU given the quantity you need, and your total cost for the order.

You are planning to buy 7 item SKUs online. You have Column A: Product Name. Column B has the product cost per quantity of the SKU, and Column C has the quantity.

It doesn’t matter what the product costs and quantities are but make each cell down the respective columns differ… In other words, make your own (unique) inputs. You may use additional columns, rows, etc as needed.
