Does Job Duck Have the Secret Ingredient to Remote Success?

Sharing is caring!

When applying for a job, most look for stability, growth, work-life balance, and a company that treats them with respect. Unfortunately, that’s not always what we get.

So, which company should you apply to? Which workplace will truly set you up for success?

Today, we want to take a closer look at our application process, not necessarily to outline the steps but to give you a clear picture of how our thorough approach is the secret ingredient to remote success.

Before We Get Started, Keep This in Mind

Your skills and experience matter. Here’s why: If you have a background working as an executive assistant or in a similar role, applying for this position would give you a better chance of success. On the other hand, if you apply for a role in a completely different field, such as the marketing assistant position, you might not advance to the next stage.

Furthermore, you should pay close attention throughout our application process. Mistakes could affect your chances of working with us. For example, if you live in Mexico and have experience as an executive assistant, apply for the “Executive Assistant – MEXICO” position. Avoid applying for a role based in a different country from where you reside.

Now, let’s discuss why Job Duck has the secret ingredient to remote success.

Understanding Our Application Process

Many companies follow the same application structure: They review your resume, schedule an interview, and if both parties are satisfied, you start working with them. However, we wanted to take a different approach.

Even though you also need to send your resume and have an interview with us, we have a couple of extra steps. The reason is simple—we want to live by our motto of “helping incredible people build an amazing career working from home for a United States-based business.”

To get started, we need to:

• Gather information about your skills and experience.
• Host an interview with general questions regarding the role you applied for.
• Conduct a performance test to ensure your computer/laptop and internet speed are up to standard.
• Invite you to join Duck University, a mandatory, paid training course where you learn all the basics of being a virtual assistant. (Note that we will pay you, not the other way around.)

Completing everything mentioned above will make it easier for us to help you find an amazing career. The explanation is simple: we truly get to know you better. We understand what you are capable of, and we’re ready for the matchmaking stage.

The Matchmaking Process

Now that we have all the necessary information, we’ll do our best to match you with the ideal client. Rest assured; our team always goes the extra mile. Instead of matching you with the first client on our list, we carefully browse through them all until we find what we believe is the most suitable match.

Why not match you with the first client we spot to speed up the process, you may ask? Well, simply because here at Job Duck, most of us have worked at companies in the past that didn’t have our best interests at heart.

Some companies try to fill their available positions as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they might miss important steps in the application process, which could have led to a more pleasant experience for the employee.

Through our experiences, we want to ensure that when you sign up to work with Job Duck, it’s different. We want you to be excited to wake up in the morning and start your workday.

We want you to:

• Be part of a positive work culture
• Have a healthy work-life balance
• Grow within the company
• Experience a career you can be proud of
• Have a voice in the long-term opportunities we offer
• Work with a client that matches our core values

Notice the difference—instead of purely focusing on what is best for the business, we also consider what is best for you. Ultimately, if you’re satisfied, motivated, and bringing your best self to the table, that’s what’s best for the business.

Interview with the U.S.-Based Client

Once we find what we believe could be the perfect match, we’ll set up another interview. This time, you’ll be interviewed by the client. It’s an exciting step in our process because it’s the first time you’ll come face-to-face with your potential employer.

If they decide to hire you after the interview—CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve been matched, and the next step is to set up a start date. If the U.S. employer feels like you are not what they are looking for after the interview, don’t worry! We will continue setting up more interviews with other employers until you get matched.
