Social media it's a great source for advertisement and must be use in this technological era. As long as it is approved by the Florida License department. 

Each institution is different but you have to know what is your role in the place and know about other departments so you can refer them to them if they need more assistance with financial aid or if the students need tools to build a resume, time management or help them with stress. 

It's important to disclosure all the information and not mislead the applicant. It's my job to be well informed and follow the regulations to stay in compliance with the state. 

It's important that in the process of the interview with a candidate we choose the correct words. The students needs to have all the accurate information to make a choice. 

Organization is key to easily access the information needed at any time. It can be time consuming to learn about all aspects of the institution but it is part of the job to know the material in the process of admission. 

The best way to learn about the school program and services to be proactive and attend the classes, talk to faculty, know what each departments and gather all materials of the institution. This will help to present the prospect student a vivid experience of what they can expect and receive. 

It is extremely important that the student is aware of what is expected from him/her in the legal agreement. This is a binding contract and can't be completed until all the sections are filled and supporting documents are attached as well.  The brochure has to have all the components that are required to have. I have to make sure everything is clear and the students has all the information and tools that the institution offer them. It's great to be prepared for any kind of questions in the interview.

What I've learned so far is that there's a lot responsibility to find the right candidates that will fit the needs of the students and institution. Learning the regulations, rules and statues are important to stay in compliance with The Florida Commission for Independent Education.  Continuing education is also part of the job to stay up to date with changes and even to refresh the memory with the admission process.
