Nelson Systems is a small reseller of specialized industrial equipment imported from England. As office assistant your main function is to take care of administrative tasks and leverage my time so I can focus on sales, technical and management issues.
We work from my house in a quiet Grass Valley neighborhood. One room is set up as a full office. I prefer someone who lives in or near Grass Valley. Initially you would need to work mostly in the office, but much of the work can be done remotely after training. I do need someone who can work partly from home and is flexible in hours.
This is a part-time position: 3-4 days/week; 2-4 hours/day; about 8-12 hours/week total.
I'm looking for someone with strong personal integrity and a strong work ethic, who is also a fast learner and doesn't need extensive training and close supervision. You must be flexible and willing to learn and help out in all areas.
Please don't waste your time or ours by sending an email or resume that doesn't explicitly state how your experience and skills match what we're looking for! We get resumes that are very nice, but where we can't tell if the person meets our requirements, and we usually just skip over those. The best thing to do is describe your experience with the Job Functions listed below, and copy the Skills & Experience lists below and add a brief comment to each one. We also need to know if you live close to Grass Valley. Thanks!
