• During the interview advisors present information about the benefits of education and DeVry University, tailoring their message to the student’s needs, motivation, and career goals.
• Once prospective students decide to enroll, advisors guide them through the admissions process, responding to questions, linking them to financial aid and academic advisors, gathering the documents necessary to start school, and ensuring students complete admissions testing.
• By networking and building relationships with their students, admissions advisors identify and contact other prospective students.

Qualifications:

• Have a Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent relevant experience
• Able to sit and work at a desk and on the computer for extended periods of time

• Enjoy listening to, and talking with prospective students over the phone, getting to know them, and creating a meaningful relationship
• Possess the skills needed to craft well-written, compelling messages to our students and fellow colleagues
• Have the desire to work with a team, and toward the team’s goals, while also working independently and being internally motivated
