About The Position

Students who audition at Boston Conservatory recall their audition experience warmly, and they always mention the positive interaction they had with the students who interviewed them post-audition. Voice Audition Interviewers will meet with prospective students after their audition to help them debrief their experience, answer any questions they have about the program they’re auditioning for, and get to know them a little bit. The role of Student Interviewer is vital to our admissions and recruitment process. Interviewers will be hired to meet with undergraduate applicants as well as grad applicants to the MM Opera, MM Pedagogy, MM Voice Performance and MFA Musical Theater Pedagogy programs. Interviewers will work in pairs in approximately 4-5 hours shifts (morning or afternoon), and work is usually only on weekends, usually on Saturdays between early December and mid-February. Student Admissions Interviewers get a behind the scenes look at admissions and recruitment and gain a better understanding of the process behind bringing new students into the school. They learn more about their own program and gain insight into the school at large. They learn to work as a team in an interview process and develop strategies for both putting an applicant at ease as well as drawing them into a conversation that is beneficial for all. If you are looking to get involved with the Berklee community while earning some money, you may want to consider applying for student employment. The Student Employment program provides opportunities for you to work part-time on campus, thereby helping you to meet some of your living expenses. With more than 900 positions ranging from 10 to 15 hours of work per week, as well as daily opportunities for project-based temporary employment, student employment is a great opportunity for professional and educational growth.
