Campus Ambassador
Applications don't work. Networks do.
Every student learns this eventually, usually a year too late to do anything with it. Your job is to bring that lesson to your campus early, and to prove it on yourself first: in public, with numbers anyone can check.

Why this role exists
The difference is almost never talent. It is access.
A student sends two hundred applications and receives three replies; another has coffee with someone who works at the company and is referred in a week.
Connecto exists to close that gap: it does the networking on LinkedIn, meaning it finds the right people, contacts them one by one, follows up, and hands you the conversation the moment somebody replies.
What it lacks is someone on your campus who has used it, can prove it, and can put it in front of the people who need it: not a promoter handing out codes, but the first person at your university to understand how this actually works.
What you do
Two halves that depend on each other.
The first is commercial: you bring students to Connecto, close partnerships with student associations, and open the door to your Career Service. The second is demonstrative: you use Connecto yourself, publicly, to reach the companies you actually want to work for. The second half is what makes the first one credible.
Your job search, in public
Choose a real shortlist of companies you would want to work for, use Connecto to reach the people inside them, and document it on LinkedIn as it unfolds: requests sent, accepted, replies, calls booked. Including the parts that fail.
Five posts a week, with a fixed mix
Two about Connecto, carrying your link and your code. Two about your outreach in progress. One about student life, with no product in it. The composition matters more than the volume: your profile has to remain worth following.
Student associations
You map the ones on your campus, find the person who decides, and carry the conversation through to a signed partnership and a first activation. An association with forty members is a single conversation, and it brings its own distribution.
The introduction to the Career Service
You do not negotiate with the university: you make the introduction, arrange the call and join it. We take it from there. Meanwhile you ask for the openings that cost nothing: a line in the newsletter, a link on the resources page, a slot inside a workshop, a stand at the career fair.
One event a quarter, on our budget
In person, ideally with one of your associations: they fill the room, you bring the content, we bring the full kit and the expenses approved in advance. You ask your university for the space, which it gives to its own students.
Three rules on how you use the product, and they are not negotiable: you personalise every first message, you respect the warm-up in full, you send a follow-up after five to seven days and then stop. A restricted LinkedIn account costs you more than it costs us.
Your own results are the argument. That is why you build them in the open.
How you are rewarded
On results, and the milestones stack.
We count paid subscription months, not users: every month a student you brought remains subscribed, your total increases by one. The count is cumulative and does not reset between semesters.
Milestone bonuses
Each milestone of paid months triggers a bonus, and the earlier bonuses stay yours: reaching the top is worth every milestone together. You see the figures at the interview.
A share of university agreements
If an agreement with your university begins with your introduction and ends in a signed deal, a share of its value is yours. It is the one line with no ceiling, and it does not depend on how many students you signed up yourself.
A 20% discount you can offer
Through your personal code, and the same 20% for the members of every association you close. Use it where it moves a decision, not as an opening: students who subscribe for the product stay, students who subscribe for a discount tend not to.
Beyond the highest milestone the conversation changes: it becomes a structured position inside Connecto, with other ambassadors reporting to you. The programme is designed so that the people at the top of it end up working here.
Only a month that has actually been paid counts: trial periods and signups do not, refunds and chargebacks are deducted, and months already earned are still yours if the collaboration ends. Attribution is automatic, through your link and your code.
What you take with you
What you keep when the collaboration ends.
A reference letter and a LinkedIn recommendation
Signed by the founders, written for whatever you need it for.
Recognition as an internship
Where your course requires one. We deal with the paperwork and with whoever has to sign it.
Real training in outbound and partnerships
The part of commercial work that no university teaches: opening, following up, closing.
A public, dated track record
Senior people at companies that matter, actually reached, with the figures attached. Anyone can verify it.
The relationships on campus
A working relationship with your Career Service and with the people who lead the associations.
Most students spend their final year waiting to be selected. This is the alternative: you spend it building the network, the evidence and the relationships that make the selection unnecessary.
