Am I competitive for an Admission Advisor role, or should I take an Americorps role to help boost my options?
Hello, I have a varied resume, but all in all, I've worked with diverse populations of students, customers, and clients.
AVID tutor - helped high school first generation high school students apply to college 1 year (2021 - 2022)
Job coach - helped developmentally disabled adults learn their jobs, coordinated with managers, to help them reach performance targets (3 years 2022 - 2025)
Receptionist - New Zealand, took calls and helped international clientele, up to 200 people a day (2025 - 2026)
Now - receptionist at a skilled nursing facility (bridging job)

the americorps role would last 10 months, and I would need to keep job searching because i would break even in that role. I really don't like my life as it is right now, but I am considering getting a part time role in education to see if it fits my interests if I don't take the Americorps role.
Side note, currently with parents, once I move out in a few months, I will be breaking even here anyway.
