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].
