JOB DESCRIPTION

Hello! I’m looking for a Jill or Jack of all trades. I work out of my home and am self-employed with several income streams: investing, teaching piano lessons, and renting out space in my house. My website www.ross-harris.com has more info about my piano teaching. Please note that this is a (mostly) in-person, not remote position.

Much of the job revolves around routine tasks, such as running errands, sorting mail, or light cleaning. Ongoing tasks include budget management and, tax bookkeeping. Home improvement projects, research, and seeking out professionals come up frequently. Other projects vary considerable, and are often tailored to your background, interests, and aptitude. Such recent projects have included piano teaching app research, interest rate yield inversion research, and estate planning.

Here are some keywords to help us find each other (in descending order of relevance): personal assistance, office administration, administrative assistance, project management, executive support, travel arrangements, social media, event management, flexibility, detail oriented, multi-tasking.

QUALIFICATIONS

I’m looking for someone who is curious, diligent, adaptable, friendly, reliable, and honest. A Bachelor’s degree, relevant job experience and a background in music are helpful, but definitely not required- undergraduates are most welcome to apply!

You must have reliable transportation, driver's license, and automobile insurance. You will be responsible for keeping your vehicle in good repair. You must be able to lift at least 25 pounds and walk up and down stairs. You must also be able to pass a background check. Please be vaccinated for Covid.

TERMS OF JOB:

Compensation is $23-$30 per hour depending on experience and aptitude, plus the federal mileage rate (currently 65.5 cents per mile) compensation for your driving while on the job. I offer paid time off.

My preferred hours are 15-20 hours a week, roughly 9:30 am to 1:30 pm weekdays; however, these are somewhat flexible, especially after you learn the job.

APPLICATION

To apply, please share a resume that includes your educational background and work experience, and contact information of your supervisors. In addition to your resume, please include the word “chocolate” when you get in touch- this is just to ensure that you read the description all the way though! :) Also please also feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Thank you, Ross
