We are looking for part-time, experienced essay editors for high school students. We prefer editors with a professional writing background (e.g. print magazines, newspapers, blogging) as well as an academic background in the writing field. We also prefer editors with admissions experience or college counseling experience, though this is not required.   Many of our students apply for top 50 colleges, including UCs and Ivy League schools. We particularly have many aspiring pre-med students (BS/MD programs) and computer science students. Our students are looking for editors to provide detailed, constructive feedback to help them differentiate themselves from other competitive applicants through their voice in their essays.   Essay editors are expected to edit dozens of essays throughout the admissions process, and the busy season for this role is between August and January of each year, with November, December, and January being busiest. Editors are taught how to find essays that have been submitted for editing through Empowerly’s website and provide comprehensive feedback. Essays can come in at any time of day or night, and editors who are available are expected to claim the essay and submit edits within a 24 hour timeframe.
