Admissions officer Jobs in Houston, TX

If you enjoy working with people from a consultative approach, this could be a very rewarding opportunity. Admissions Advisors are in many ways both counselors and sales professionals. In this role you contact people who have indicated they are interested in more information about going to school, interview them to learn what they hope to accomplish by completing our program, and help them through the enrollment process. This is a relationship building process because going back to school is a big decision. It is your job to help guide them through the process and to make certain that the program offered is right for them. Most prospective students are not traditional high school graduates. Many had to put off their dreams of going to school because of life circumstances or because they didn't know what they wanted to do with their lives. Some are afraid of what school might be like for an older individual with other responsibilities. Many just need someone to believe in them and help them take the first step. If you enjoy helping others, the reward of working with someone to accomplish this goal is extremely fulfilling. If you enjoy helping others, like interacting with people by phone and email and are service driven, please apply for immediate consideration.
