Part Time College Counselor - Fully Remote at Collegewise
Job Summary
Job Summary
As a part-time Collegewise counselor, you'll work with a small caseload, comprised mostly of junior and senior students, meeting virtually (via Zoom) one-on-one to help them find and apply to the right colleges for them. The number of hours you'll work per week will depend on the number of students you choose to take on. Every college counselor who joins us completes an initial paid 40-hour training, followed by mentoring, a supportive hive of over 60 fellow counselors, access to over ten years of student admissions results to aid you in your work, proprietary software to track your students' progress, and ongoing professional development like our College Counseling Master Class. We think this commitment to finding, training, and developing the very best college counselors shows in our work. We've received hundreds (and hundreds) of glowing testimonials from families. And even our most veteran counselors don't coast on experience. We all want to keep getting better all the time. We're not looking for people who equate part-time hours with part-time effort. This is less about the number of hours you work and more about the heart you bring to that work. And that engagement will go both ways. You'll have a dedicated manager who's committed to your success. You'll be treated like a valuable addition to our team, you'll be invited to our company holiday party, and you'll be considered for some of our most iconic annual awards. In fact, some of our most indispensable colleagues are part-timers who have found their place here and now thrive doing their very best work.

Comments and Other Information
If your interest is piqued, please start by writing us a cover letter that tells your story. What role has admissions or counseling played in your professional life? What brought you to this place seeking part-time work? What excites you about this opportunity?
We enjoy working with people who are clear thinkers and equally clear communicators.
And you're more interesting than a generic "insert-name-of-company-here" letter. So please be yourself and use your letter to help us get to know the real you. You might also consider checking out our five tips for job seekers. Then submit your application on our site. When you paste your cover letter into the text box, your formatting will hold up when we see it (but if it doesn't, we'll blame the text box, not you).
If you're excited about this opportunity but unsure if you're the right fit, we hope you'll take a shot. There is no such thing as a perfect applicant (or a perfect gig, for that matter). And we promise to give a fair and thorough read to every applicant who takes the time to submit a thoughtful application to us.
And finally, we understand that the more we embrace diversity of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective, the stronger the company we'll build together. Creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work is the right thing to do. And we hope you're excited to embrace and contribute to our efforts.
