Student Jobs

This position has varying hours per week that are hard to predict: some weeks may have zero tasks and some may have many tasks. Some tasks may be stretched across several weeks if needed, but some will be urgent. I would leave at least one hour per week during the typical business hours for any urgent tasks that require to be completed within 2 days. This position would be ideal as a supplemental source of income for someone who prefers a mostly flexible schedule and mostly remote work.

UW Madison Professor is seeking help with personal tasks:

• doing research online
• organizing trips/vacations
• calling to book doctors or other personal appointments
• emails
• scanning and organizing notes
• other personal tasks as they come up

The rate is $20 per hour (before taxes), paid via payroll company to your bank account.

Most, but not all, of the tasks can be done remotely and at any time of the week or day. Some tasks, like scanning notes, would require picking up my notes from my mailbox at Grainger Hall on campus and returning them after scanning (access to a personal scanner is also needed). Some tasks, like calling to book appointments, need to be completed during the typical business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

We are looking for someone who:
(a) is reliable, responsible, and friendly
(b) would enjoy assisting with personal tasks and errands and has great communication skills
(c) is fine with variable hours per week but is ready to set aside at least one hour per week during business hours for any urgent tasks
(d) has experience in similar positions (this is not required to get the position)

Apply by emailing Alina at arefeva@wsb.wisc.edu with:

1. Your name, phone, and major/department (if any).
2. A note on whether you could be a good fit as measured by (a)-(d). Sending your resume is not necessary. But if you have it, please, send it along.

I will keep the ad on the website until I have hired a personal assistant. Thus, if you see the ad, you can still apply.

Thank you!
