HOW TO STAY INFORMED?

There are three ways to be always informed and updated on the student’s pending tasks and progress:

Number#1– Review the task summary email sent from our system, CounselMore. This summary will provide you with the tasks that the student must complete and the date due for each task. If you see a task that starts with “PARENTS”, that assignment is for you to complete directly (not the student). Please make sure to complete it and ask the student to mark it “Done” on CounselMore so that it doesn’t show pending moving forward.

As the student completes their pending tasks, they must mark them as “Done” on CounselMore in order for them to not appear again. Please help us ensure the student is proceeding in this proactive way.

Number#2– Log in to CounselMore to review the student’s pending tasks/assignments. Parents have their log-ins, and should have received an email offering you to sign up for CounselMore. If you can’t find that invitation email, we would be glad to send you a new one – just let us know! If you are unsure how to log into CounselMore, here is a short TUTORIAL VIDEO.

Number#3– Attend meetings or request meeting recordings. We are always happy to have you participate in our student meetings. If your student is comfortable with having you, we would be thrilled for you to join. However, if your schedule does not permit it, or the student prefers not to have you participate, we are also happy to record the meeting (whether it is in person or on Zoom) and send you the recording afterward. You will need to make this request as recording meetings is not a regular practice for us.

MEETINGS WITH EDUPLAN

EduPlan provides up to 30 cumulative hours of counseling services that will be conducted in person, via email, online, and telephone calls, as necessary. We have found that for the majority of students, 30 hours accrue excellent results while helping the student go through the process with confidence and reduced stress.

I look forward to reviewing your resume draft soon and helping you create a fantastic final document!

To conclude, here is a quick recap:

💡 Each sentence should be structured on Google’s XYZ formula: "Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]."

💡 Example: Instead of saying "worked with team members on a project", say "Collaborated with 5+ analysts on go-to-market strategy by researching 20+ cities across the United States, resulting in an ARR of $1M."

💡 Last but not least, keep it concise. One or two pages max
