Jack Westin Remote

We are looking for editors who are driven to help students achieve their goals to become doctors. We need compassionate, driven editors who can help students with the personal statement writing process for medical school admissions. We work with many students that are looking for support throughout the admissions process, and as an editor, you will edit the writing components and provide feedback to students. The length of each personal statement is on average 500 words, while other essays and activity descriptions will be shorter.

A strong applicant is supportive, a quick learner, and possesses past editing experience in the post-secondary education setting.

Basic Editor Responsibilities:

As an Editor, you will:

  • work on all written content with students throughout the application process. This includes personal statements, experience descriptions, letters of recommendation, secondaries, letters of interest/ intent, and scholarships for all medical school application systems.
  • edit written documents to improve the writing quality and concision while preserving the student’s voice.
  • work during the time of day that is most convenient to them, however, you must provide feedback to students within 48 hours.
  • communicate with students via email or GoogleDocs unless otherwise noted.
  • coordinate with advisors who will be guiding students throughout the application process to ensure the student is on track.
  • be professional and courteous to students at all times.
  • take notes of student interactions and log revisions.

  • work an average of 10-20 hours per week as a part-time editor.
  • work an average of 40 hours per week as a full-time editor.
  • reduce the amount of time needed to spend with each student on each draft as you progress through the application cycle.

The peak season falls between April through July and November. During the peak season, we expect editors to be extremely committed to their students and dedicate the necessary time to the application process. We expect editors to manage their time accordingly. We value work/life balance, however, the expectation is a strong commitment during the busy months with the flexibility to the schedule in the off-season months. The off-season will typically fall between September-October, and Mid-December through Mid-January.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelors degree.
  • Minimum 2 years previous editing experience with college or premedical students.
  • Work with premedical students is strongly preferred but not required.
  • Strong written communication skills.
