College Solutions Counselor

College Solutions is searching for grounded, extraordinary people to add to our staff.

College Solutions is an educational counseling firm that helps candidates through the US college application and financial aid process. We work with applicants from around the world to ensure they have the highest degree of success in finding the right fit when applying to colleges and universities. School selection, resume reviews, essay editing/strategic feedback, mock interviewing and recommendation writer coaching are just a few of our basic services. You will work closely with candidates.

We have been fortunate enough to have a growing brand, a growing client base, and are now in search of counselors with the ability to connect with students and families, be up on the latest trends in college admissions, and to advocate for students through the ups and downs of the entire process. We do our best to make the process as fun, stress-free and as personal as possible.

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies. It’s time consuming and demanding. The work requires nights and weekends, but the return is the best part. When the students achieve, you achieve! Sometimes the students will tell you they got accepted into a school before they tell their parents!

We believe college admissions is about the perfect fit, and we hope you do too! If you are ready to see what it is like to work with students and their families in an independent setting, we would love to meet you.

Responsibilities include:

• Coaching students on the entire college application process.
• Choosing courses, activities, and internships.
• Defining a college list, defining a visit strategy, coaching students on doing interviews, and narrowing the list to those colleges they will apply.
• Brainstorming & editing college application essays.

Candidates should have:

• A Bachelor’s degree
• College admission experience
• Demonstrated excellent organizational, oral and written communications skills
• A student-centered philosophy
• High ethical and professional standards
• Flexibility, creativity, and a good sense of humor required in a fast-paced working environment
• Proficiency in word processing

College admission experience is required. One to three years of editing, speechwriting or copywriting experience is preferred. We are looking for someone with strong editing and communication skills, attention to detail and ability to motivate teens. The ideal candidate will join us this summer. New England based preferred.
