The goal of a Salesperson is to sell. It is assumed, when hiring one, that they are an encouraging 'body' to use their 'product'. In education the 'product' is taking a course/class/degree program etc; How does a conflict of interest in respect to urging students to attend school not interfere with the motivation to be an ethical one?

Not all schools are require to be accredited although in some cases is mandatory. However it's important to let students know this information prior to enrollment in the school as this can be an important deciding factor.

All schools should have a learning center for students to go for help either with papers or to understand the material. The learning center I have found that is very helpful and improves student's grade and chances of approving the state exams.

Many students come to our school hoping to change careers to obtain a better job. They often ask for job outlook and salary expectations. It's ok to increase slightly the amount of salary they're expected to earn. The truth is they will be making more than their current salary. Plus with continuing education the salary increases. We always give them a catalog and enrollment information before they register for classes. It's important they read about the classes they're taking and know the fees they're paying.

Schools regulations change often in the state to improve the experience for the students. In order for schools to stay current they have to comply with new regulations. For this reason admission representatives always need to obtain new information, stay current and attend training.

How important is to feel happy and comfortable working in your institution? How important is to know what is going on in every department? Why is important to be aware of any event the education department has going on? Career services events are very important? All these questions are all part of what you need to be aware of while working for your institution. As an experienced admission's representative, i have learned that when you are meeting a prospect students, you will ask so many questions that would allow you to know the prospect student. Therefore, by you knowing all the answers to the questions above and staying informed not only will you be able to make a connection with the student to the school and the program but also you will gain someone's respect in knowing your stuff. This is what helps you to make relationships stronger and longer in the environment where you work.

Can another institution not accept another schools credits just because they are the competor. Is this regulated by the state in anyway?

Meetings are and should be a vital part to any Institution. In my personal experience I have learned that through my Student Services weekly meetings that it is a time for all of us to share what our weekly agendas and for the rest of the staff to share as well. This is also a time for us to have an open floor for any new information someone may have that the rest of the staff may not know about just yet. Meetings should be a time for everyone in your department to share new information and findings they may have discovered over the last week so we can all remain on the same page. Communication is key!

I used to work for a school couple of months back and the main resource book we used to call was third part book. This book was all the same information in every admissions representative working there. We had to all have the same regulations in the order that the institution wanted it in. More like a uniformed book. This book contained some of the information that was in the catalog, but also images and descriptions of each individual program which included curriculum, hours, and requirements of each. It also contained per program the print out of the Salary range that we pulled per career from the BLS.gov website highlighting the date it was printed. This book was made to help every representative to represent the program and other features of the school. Last but not least it contained testimonials of the very students graduating from each program. I thought it was an awesome way to show the schools' success.

My organization does not invest much on marketing. I see billboards and internet adds for most career colleges. Does the return on investment on advertising beat the enrollment contributions of recruiters?

After reading through this information, I find it a must for the marketing/community development coordinator to be up to date on all rules and regulations when speaking to audiences about enrollment at their institution. What methods have been proved to be successful in the past for making sure the Admissions Director & Marketing Team know they're on the same page? Any suggestions to ensure everyone is promoting the same information to key publics?

Army values like Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage (Accronym LDRSHIP) are the core of these Florida Statutes and Regulation.

I have over 20 years of experience leading Soldiers and thought that experience alone can land me a high paying job after military service. When I started to look for my second career after retirement, I quickly realized that the jobs I wanted, even those ones that I was already doing in the military, required a degree to even apply for.

To be a succesful admissions representative one must always stay up to date. This will ensure that the information you provide your prospective students is accurate

Massachusetts, the state where my employer's institution is located has long been considered one of "intellectual capital". Focus on education has been at the forefront of legislation and a springboard for the advancement of job equality and opportunity for the better part of the last two decades. The theory rests upon the idea that the more money that is allocated to higher education, along side with legislation designed to afford every citizen, including illegal immigrants, the opportunity to a higher education will help to develop a larger, more diverse workforce and create a higher demand for qualified applicants to fill and create new jobs. Not only in Massachussetts, but the entire country has been burdened by a stifling unemployment rate which has singlehandedly created a mindset that education does not matter because people with Master's degrees are competing with high school graduates for similar jobs just to be able to support their families. Conversely, uneducated people continue to exhaust the public assistance system due to this high level of competition, creating the stalemate of continued,staggering unemployment statistics. That being said, a program like this which is designed to educate and advance the knowledge and capability of admissions employees to recruit new "intellectual capital" and emphasize the benefits of a higher education can certainly serve well for not only the students but employers, employees and society as a whole.
