Advantage College Planning is a growing college planning business headquartered in Raleigh, NC. Our office in Apex, NC 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?

Recently recognized by our local Chamber of Commerce as “Employer of the Year,” Advantage College Planning provides expert guidance to parents and students through the college planning process that leads to successful outcomes. 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. 

How do we do this?

We meet with students in-person, one-on-one, and we get to know them really well. By visiting colleges, doing research, attending conferences, and learning from our team, we make strong recommendations on student’s college lists. Parents enjoy working with us, because it allows them to take a step back and enjoy the time with their student, rather than being the project manager. 

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 planning process, ideally in college admissions

• 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 Apex, NC

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 lindsey@advcp.com.

Join Advantage College Planning and make a difference in the lives of students and parents on their college planning journey!

About Advantage College Planning

Advantage College Planning is a team-based college consulting firm that guides high school students and their families through the entire college planning journey with clarity, confidence, and a healthy dose of fun. We believe the process should feel supportive, not stressful, so our consultants work closely with students to help them discover colleges that fit them academically, socially, and financially. Our approach is rooted in encouragement, individualized planning, and strong relationships. We measure success not by how many students land in the Ivy League (though that’s always exciting!) but by whether our students feel understood, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions. Most importantly, we aim to help families maintain positive relationships throughout the process and send students off to colleges where they can thrive and graduate on time.
