International Academic Competitions organizes quiz competitions for students in over 30 countries. We are devoted to supporting history, science, and geography education through enriching and exciting tournaments that make learning fun!
Job Description
We are seeking students to promote our National History Bee, National Science Bee & International Geography Bee. The sole job of an Outreach Specialist is to meet teachers and principals in person (either at their schools, or for coffee / lunch etc.) to introduce them to our events and encourage their schools to compete. All this requires of them is to offer our free online qualifying exam to their students. This does not require more than a few hours of a teacher’s time. It’s an easy sell, but you’re not really even “selling” anything, since this is free for the schools! We then earn money when qualified students compete at our regional, national, and international championships, for which their parents pay. But first we need to get the schools to agree to offer the qualifying exam. That’s where you come in!
Outreach specialists receive $25 hourly pay for meetings – they are also paid this for travel time to get to and from them. The position also includes travel and food & drink reimbursements plus a 33% commission based on student participation at the regional tournaments. We will schedule the meetings for you – just tell us when you are free to do them. The Bees cost $45 per student, so you earn $15 per event. About 30-50% of students from each school qualify for the regional tournaments but there is no absolute limit per school. So if you bring in just 1 new school (see table) it can be worth $500+ On average you can earn up to $40-50 an hour or more!
