Culture Shock Task

Part 1: Core Values

Zirtual is made up of passionate, intelligent, and supportive people who truly care about working hard, helping others, and having fun. Our company culture intertwines professionalism and excellence with the overall belief that work can be awesome.

In our search for the ultimate ZA, we look for people who are excited to be part of, and to help strengthen, our vibrant culture. Although every member of Zirtual is truly unique (something we love!), we all follow and believe in a set of principles. We call these our Core Values. Please take 5 minutes and read Zirtual's Core Values here.

Keeping these core values in mind, please answer the following questions in a single Google Drive document (following the instructions):

• Why do you want to work for Zirtual?
• Why do you think you'd be a good culture fit?
• Which core value resonates most with you and why?
• While our Hiring team loves to read, we appreciate you keeping your responses to less than 150 words per question.

Part 2: A Week in the Life

What does a typical day in the life of a ZA look like? Is there even such thing as a typical day? We know that many of our applicants are very curious about what comprises a workday for a ZA. Please take a moment to read through: A Week in the Life of a ZA

After reading that glimpse into the day-to-day, what do you think are three necessary skills or qualities needed for a ZA to succeed? Please explain why you chose those three!
