Start by highlighting any advising, mentoring, tutoring, or student-services experience from internships, campus jobs, or volunteer work. Employers hiring at this level typically look for strong interpersonal skills, familiarity with academic program requirements, and comfort working with diverse student populations. A relevant degree in education, counseling, or a related field gives candidates a clear edge, and a cover letter that speaks directly to student success sets you apart.
Which companies hire entry level faculty advisors?
Companies hiring entry level faculty advisors right now include Virginia Community College System, Ivy Tech Community College, and Medical College of Wisconsin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from colleges, universities, community colleges, and education-focused organizations that need dedicated advisors to support growing student enrollments.
