<Title>Now Hiring: Summer Orientation Advisors (F-1 Eligible!)</Title>
<Tagline>Earn up to $100 per session. No experience required</Tagline>
<Body>

    <div>
    <div>Dear Graduate Students,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Office for Academic &amp; Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Summer Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming undergraduate students VIRTUALLY during the months of June through August in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Besides compensation, this is a rare chance for graduate students to gain professional and interpersonal experience. Depending on your field, your time as a student may not open you up to many client-facing interactions, and this is a pathway to gaining that experience. If you are considering a career in academia, meanwhile, advising experience is highly sought-after in faculty openings.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Advisors are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per afternoon session and $50 per evening or morning session. Participants are also eligible to earn the Orientation Advisor microcredential! See more info here: <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/gspd/posts/147862/6b41e/9fcf23bdcf0261dde644bd6833db42c6/email/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fbadges.umbc.edu%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://badges.umbc.edu/</a>
