Resume Roast for Academic Advisors

Academic Advisor resumes get scanned for caseload and retention numbers, because advising is where universities fight their dropout problem. Guided students toward academic success is the mission statement, not the evidence. A caseload of 300, retention in your cohort two points above the college average, a degree-audit cleanup that saved seniors from surprise extra semesters: that is advising with receipts.

What Gabe checks first on a Academic Advisor resume

State caseload and population, like 320 first-generation and transfer students. Every other claim gets read against that denominator.
Use retention or persistence numbers if your institution tracks them by advisor, like 88 percent fall-to-fall persistence versus 84 campus-wide.
Name the systems you work in, like Degree Works, Banner, and the early-alert platform you ran. Familiar tools cut onboarding time.

Worth knowing

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)
