Hey friends! Guess what!! I have a pretty awesome job at the moment AND it gets even better. Kaplan is hiring right here at UVM and at tons of other college campuses across the nation. Here's a few reasons why I love my job so much and why YOU should apply today.
So what is a Kaplan SBA?
That's a very good question Charlotte! Let me answer that. Well SBA stands for Student Brand Ambassador. Yep, thats right! I am still a student! I still go to classes, work through piles of homework, stress over exams, and try to stay fit. But at the same time.. I get to work with an amazing company that wants to do some pretty awesome things for students like me.
What role does a Kaplan SBA play on campus?
Students all over campus are reaching for their academic goals every day. Some of us will be looking to gain even more knowledge by continuing on to graduate school. Working through the application can seem overwhelming, especially when it comes to the entrance exam. That's where I come in with the help of Kaplan! Kaplan offers a wide range of resources to help students achieve their goals. I am here to serve as a connection for students and Kaplan resources. Part of my job is forming partnerships with clubs and organizations on campus as well. I don't want to limit these amazing resources to just MY friends. I want as many students as possible to know that both Kaplan and I are here to support them! If you are a student who wants to get that admission worthy score on your graduate exam...well you can definitely take advantage of everything Kaplan offers. (Even if you don't nail that exam the first time around, Kaplan will be there to help you "prep smarter and score higher or you will have your money back guaranteed!")
Ok, I'm a broke college student...where's the free stuff?
YES! I totally understand you on that one. Well, you are just in luck. Kaplan has been working on an amazing campaign over the past few weeks. Seriously guys. It's AMAZING. The Win Your Way Campaign (click on the link to enter) is literally a FREE raffle for some insane prizes. This week (10/04/17- 10/11/17) you can enter to win a $400 Southwest Airlines Voucher. Some of the upcoming prizes include an Apple Watch, Free Kaplan Course, AND a SNACK BOX SUBSCRIPTION! (I think you can tell which one I am most excited about...). Along with the chance of winning one of these amazing prizes, you will also receive some other free resources from Kaplan which can help you with the less important stuff... like you know...getting into grad school?
Ok, so why should I apply to be an SBA with you Charlotte?
Wow, you guys are nailing it with these great questions! Well apart from helping out my fellow students, I am personally gaining a lot from this job as well. Communication skills. This is a big one that I know a lot of people my age struggle with a little. Since Kaplan hires people from all over the country, many of us are working remotely through Skype, email, text, and phone calls. This has been a great challenge myself. Specifically, by keeping up to date on communication outlets which are becoming an increasingly important aspect of work in our digital age. On top of that, I am working on interpersonal communication with my peers and faculty as I represent the Kaplan brand across my campus. Networking is another huge piece. Kaplan has connected me to SBA's all over the country! That's huge! And on top of that, I am networking with the students on my campus who I may not have come into contact with before. My last big piece is expanding my social media knowledge. A huge part of my job is to get these resources out to my peers. Social media has played a key role in this aspect. As social media becomes more and more relevant to our generation, I am out there exploring all the possibilities. Kaplan wants us to exceed as well! They have provided me with resources and opportunities to learn more about how to represent myself and the brand online.
Ok, so this is all really useful stuff (yes I know 😝) BUT what are the real perks?
Well... there are way too many to list so I am going to narrow it down to my top 3. #1. I get to create my own schedule. I have the flexibility to work around all those things that keep us, students, busy and reserve my own time for work. #2. A free Kaplan Test Prep Course! Heck yeah! Not only are you sharing these amazing resources with your friends, but you are receiving them as well. #3. I saved the best for last. My coworkers and supervisors are some of the best people I have ever worked with! These guys are truly amazing (shout out to #teamkristen). They are always there to provide me with the encouragement and support that I need throughout the semester. Thank you, guys!
So what are you waiting for? Go win that free gift card and then go and apply to be a Kaplan SBA, today! 💕 #KaplanSBA
