Careers

College Transitions is seeking to hire several part-time College Counselors to serve students and families in a remote capacity. We are especially interested in qualified individuals with experience working in selective college admission offices.

Essential Duties:

College Counselors guide 9th-to-12th grade students through the entire college admissions process, providing support on the following tasks:

• High school course planning
• Extracurricular planning/resume development
• Preparing for college interviews
• College list development
• Developing a college application calendar/timeline
• Completing/reviewing applications

In addition to offering support with the above, College Counselors meet with students via video chat (e.g.,Zoom) to address questions and discuss application strategies.

Background:

Ideally, competitive candidates will have prior experience offering individual college guidance to high school and/or college students, as either a college admission or school-based counselor. Experience working at a selective college is preferred.

We believe this position could be ideal for former admission professionals who love their full-time job but who are looking to supplement their income through part-time work.

Education:

Master’s or higher is preferred; however, admission professionals with only a bachelor’s degree will definitely be considered.

Duties:

College Counselors should:

• Be able to devote 5 hours per week to their students.
• Be comfortable working with students and families in a remote capacity, most often through video chat and email.
• Be able to answer emails and questions within 24 hours.
• Be able to review and provide feedback on college applications within 48 hours.
• Be willing to adhere to the Principles of Good Practice as outlined by the NACAC.

Currently, College Transitions is seeking to hire several remote, part-time College Essay Coaches to guide our students through the college essay writing process for the 2024-25 academic year.

Essential Duties:

College Essay Coaches correspond with students via phone, email, and/or video chat (e.g.,

Zoom, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, etc.), while providing suggestions and feedback for each of their college application/admission essays. Essay Coaches are assigned to individual students (not individual essays) and are responsible for helping them draft authentic and well-written responses that reflect what they can contribute to their prospective schools.

Background:

The ideal candidate will possess a college admissions and/or college counseling background, as well as prior essay tutoring/coaching experience.

Requirements:

College Essay Coaches must:

• Be able to provide approximately 10-15 hours of essay coaching to each assigned student over the course of the admissions cycle.
• Be comfortable working with students and families in a remote capacity, and have access to a video chat platform.
• Be able to provide thorough feedback within 48 hours of receiving an essay, including and especially during the height of the college admission cycle (October-January).
• Be willing to adhere to the Principles of Good Practice as outlined by the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
• Be willing to commit to a full admissions cycle (May 2024-March 2025).
• Hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher.

Compensation:

College Essay Coaches are paid per hour and are responsible for providing coaching support for all of the student’s application/admission essays. Typically, our Essay Coaches work with approximately 3-5 students, occasionally more or less, depending upon their availability and the demand for our services.
