Virtual Assistant

Persona’s interview process typically spans three stages: an online aptitude/English test, a practical assignment that mimics day‑to‑day assistant tasks, and a final HR conversation. The difficulty is moderate, focusing on communication clarity, tool proficiency, and cultural alignment. Candidates should prepare by practicing email drafting, calendar management simulations, and reviewing common behavioural questions.

Persona fosters a people‑first culture where collaboration, continuous learning, and autonomy are encouraged. Employees benefit from transparent growth pathways, regular feedback loops, and a balanced work‑life rhythm despite the global client base. The remote‑first model ensures flexibility while maintaining a strong sense of community through virtual events and mentorship programs.

Any graduate (Associate's or Bachelor's) from any discipline; minimum 60% aggregate (or equivalent CGPA); fluent in English (both written and spoken); no backlog at the time of joining; able to commit to full‑time, long‑term remote work; must be able to work US business hours (PT, CT, or ET).

Round 1: Online aptitude and English proficiency test → Round 2: Task‑based assessment (email drafting, calendar management simulation) → Round 3: HR interview focusing on cultural fit and long‑term commitment
