As a tour guide, you'll interact with prospective students and their families and introduce them to Dartmouth. Hours are flexible; you'll usually be assigned a few tours a week (60-90 minutes each) at set times, and there's a system in place for finding a substitute for your tour if need be. Your job is to "sell" Dartmouth to prospective students, so if this is something you're interested in, it's important to be prepared to grapple with what you say to students and how it plays a role in bringing them into an institution that is ultimately exploitative and built on violence. To apply, admissions will send a listserv email inviting current freshmen and sophomores to apply sometime during the winter term. It involves a written application and interview process.
Starts at $12-13.50/hour; you receive a $0.25 raise for every term that you work, and those who are promoted to manager or supervisor positions receive additional raises.
