[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to be a reader you need to apply now. UVA is currently hiring. Please beware you need to be ready to make yourself appear like a higher ed professional. They’ll be spooked if you come off like a parent. Most readers are retired guidance counselors or people that have some prior full-time job in education. You could apply to be a college are career coach in a public school or even volunteer. Anything inside a school building is more legitimate than what you have now. [/quote]

I applied to dozens of these reader positions and didn’t get a single interview. Not sure if it was the lawyer or parent vibe or something else but it’s not easy getting this low paid work. [/quote]

Do you have professional experience inside a school building? If no, you’re unqualified. Volunteer to help the college and career counselor at a local public high school. You’ll need a background check and will have to be approved for it to be an internship or something. UVLA has a college counseling certificate online that you should do in order to justify your internship. [/quote]
