College & Career Coach

Join the top 1% of student leaders helping high schoolers navigate their future.

About College Contact

College Contact is a fast-growing, award-winning startup revolutionizing college and career advising for high school students and their families. We started as a viral TikTok initiative helping students with their college essays and quickly grew into a nationwide network of relatable, high-achieving undergraduate coaches. In just a few years, we’ve been named Career Pathways Product of the Year, secured over $1.5M in venture funding, partnered with districts and nonprofits across the country, and achieved an 86% first-choice university placement rate for students we’ve coached.

We were founded to give students what we wish we had—affordable, high-touch guidance from people who truly “get it” because they’ve recently been through the process themselves.

Coaches are independent contractors.

Our Mission

At College Contact, we believe every student deserves access to quality, relatable guidance—no matter their background or budget. Our goals are to:

  • Democratize access to higher education and career resources for all students.
  • Give back, replacing expensive private advising with relatable, affordable mentorship.
  • Help students make informed, personalized decisions—whether that’s college, a trade, the military, or another pathway.
  • Equip students to earn the most scholarships and financial aid possible or choose a high-ROI career path that fits their skills and passions.

About the Role

As a College & Career Coach, you’ll be part of an elite network of undergraduates selected for their leadership, empathy, and expertise. You’ll guide high school students through the college admissions process, career exploration, and future planning.

Your journey will look like this:

  1. Professional Development (First Few Weeks): Self-paced course on our advising process, methodology, and platform tools.
  2. Onboarding: Set up your profile (o students can book 1:1 virtual coaching sessions and message you for help) and attend a live orientation call.
  3. Active Coaching: Meet with students, communicate with parents and counselors, and track student progress in our dashboard.
  4. Ongoing Development: Stay updated on new resources and trends in college, career, military, and trade school preparation.

Optional Opportunities:

  • Maintain at least 5 hours of open availability per week for student meetings
  • Respond to messages from students or parents within 24 hours

Compensation

  • $200/semester base pay (guaranteed) + a tiered payment system based on meetings completed out of open availability, earn $35/hour for meetings with individual families
  • Additional bonuses for hosting or participating in workshops, referring new coaches to the network, and interning with our internal team ($20/hour)
  • Opportunity for promotion to Lead Coach (train and mentor new coaches)

Perks

  • Join the top 1% of coaches at your university
  • Access to discounted grad school prep (GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, etc.) as available
  • Exclusive job and internship opportunities from top companies as requested
  • Build your resume with meaningful, high-impact experience

Qualifications

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
