• Strong relationship‑building and communication skills
• Urgency, follow‑through, and personal accountability
• Confidence handling student and employer conversations
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment

If you are driven, organized, people‑savvy, and motivated by outcomes, we want to hear from you.

The hourly pay range for this position is $24.00 (minimum), $25.50 (midpoint), and $27.00 (maximum).*

*Typical hiring range is between the minimum and midpoint of the above pay range. Actual starting base pay may vary based on factors such as education, experience, skills, location and budget.

Qualifications:

• College degree or trade school is preferred. Will also consider candidates with a combination of education and at least two years’ experience working in a related field: i.e. Career Services, recruiting, sales, marketing.
• Ability to gather data, analyze results, and present findings.
• Maintain professional appearance and demeanor.
