Part-Time Editor

Are you interested in:

A dynamic and intellectually stimulating part-time editing position?
The freedom to work at your convenience, from anywhere you prefer?
The opportunity to assist students in achieving their educational aspirations?

Since 2007, Passport Admissions has helped over 1500 students achieve their admissions goals, and that's no joke! We help students with personality (and let's face it, some without) take ownership of the admissions process, get into the schools of their dreams, and prepare for successful careers.

We're on the lookout for wordsmiths with a superhero-like grasp of the English language, an undying love for grammar, and a knack for weaving magical essays that leave an unforgettable impact. This role is an engaging adventure, offering both fulfillment and a dash of challenge along the way.

Are you:

A linguistic virtuoso?
A master of independence, thriving with minimal supervision?
A beacon of reliability, lighting up in response to emails?

Then, consider yourself in demand! Yes, you, the future maestro of the editing realm!

What You Can Expect:

Work 5-15 hours per week, with some afternoon, evening, and weekend availability required. You have the flexibility to set your own schedule.
This is a seasonal contract position, with peak editing times during October-December (for college admissions) and March-July (for medical school admissions).
This role offers an exceptional learning opportunity. You will collaborate with our Senior Advisor to hone your writing and editing skills and gain valuable business insights.
You'll work with motivated students aspiring to attend top colleges and/or medical and graduate schools.
Casual but professional attire is the norm for this remote role.
Compensation ranges between $22 and $27 per hour with bonuses for anyone who refers friends to the company.
100% remote work - candidates from California, New York, Ohio, North Carolina and Maine preferred, but we are open to anyone.

The Ideal Candidate:

Holds a college degree.
Is highly motivated to help students achieve their goals.
Demonstrates excellent organizational skills and can work independently.
Possesses expert fluency in English grammar and style.
Responds promptly to phone calls and emails.
Interest in learning about the graduate school admissions process is a plus, but not required.

About Us:

At Passport Admissions, we believe that the admissions process is needlessly stressful and overwhelming. We think there’s a better way. Since 2007, we’ve been helping our students figure out who they are, how to present themselves in a terrific application, and (hopefully) get in to their top choice schools. Along the way, we also provide valuable information to the community through creating free resources about the admissions process.
