Advantage College Planning is a growing college planning business headquartered in Raleigh, NC. Our office in the East Bay is hiring a
full-time college planning consultant, and we encourage you to submit a cover letter and resume if you’re interested in joining our
team!
Who are we?
Advantage College Planning coaches high school students through the college
planning process to ensure each student’s success. We define our success as working to make the process as stress-free as possible (even
having some fun!) and finding colleges that fit our students: academically, socially, and financially. Our ultimate goal is to see our
students survive the college planning process (while keeping the relationship with their parents intact), go off to a college that fits, and
graduate in a timely fashion. Although acceptance into the Ivy League is exciting, it’s certainly not how we define our success.
How do we do this?
We get to know our students really well and learn what makes them tick. We meet with
them one-on-one, make good recommendations on colleges to consider (by heavily researching and visiting schools), and walk students through
each step of the process. We enjoy being the neutral third party students listen to and trust and enable parents to take a step back from
being the nag. We take pride in the relationships we build with both students and parents, and it shows in the result of our work.
We would love to hear from you if:
- You are looking for work-life balance, a flexible schedule, and
competitive pay - You have experience working in the college admissions (associate director or director level preferred)
- You
believe in our philosophy of guiding students and parents through the college planning process while reducing stress - You excel at
the challenges of working with high school students (and their parents) - You have an infectiously positive, upbeat, “can-do”
attitude - You don’t mind working in the evenings or on weekends and can participate in a weekly team meeting and occasional
professional development events during business hours - You are located in the East Bay area or are willing to relocate.
Compensation is competitive and will depend on experience, with many opportunities for growth through hard work, team commitment, and a
passion for student success.
If this opportunity sounds like a good fit for you, send us a letter sharing why you’d be a great
addition to our team! Please send a cover letter and resume to [email protected].
