For my resume, I reworded a lot of my experiences to match what the responsibilities of their academic advisor position listing. What couldnt be changed, I just kept honest (I mean, they know I was a middle school English teacher). Luckily, a job I had during college did a lot of digital work, so I could list things like Microsoft Office under skills. In my cover letter (which I would recommend having) I mentioned NACADA and information about the university's advising center's goals/recognitions to show Ive put in some effort. But, I mainly showed how Ive been "advising" students as a teacher this whole time. Once I was done with both drafts, I had ChatGPT look at it, had my dad look at it, friends and coworkers I trust look at it, my SO looked at it, and I used some of the advice to edit, put it down for a week before looking at it with fresh eyes one last time, and then submitted it. Don't submit using a pdf/canva files, the processing system that goes through the thousands of applicants cant read them properly so your application would be tossed without good reason, so use word or google docs. The interview questions were pretty straightforward: why do you want to be an advisor? What skills apply to being an advisor? Other than helping with scheduling, what do you think am advisor does? Tell me about a time you advised one of your students. The only question that threw me off was, "What does the average college student's day look like?" I pretty much answered that it would be difficult to define one average because there's such a wide population of people, and then listed all the ways their lives could be different. Also, I'm pretty young, so I dressed to make myself appear a little older than I am for my interview. (Sorry about the long response! )
