Hi I was applying on jobmine for jobs, and I submitted my resume individually to each position on the application page instead of using the 3 saved resume slots. Does jobmine still attach my transcript in this case? Or do I have to use the 3 slots. Thank you

I applied to the university of waterloo for computer science, software engineering, and statistics. I am currently in the process of submitting my AIF and was wondering if someone could just quickly review it before I submit it.

I am looking for 1-page resume and 2-page CV templates. I couldn't find any templates on the university website. I am fine with buying the templates on-line as well as long as they are simple and professional. Can you please suggest what templates students at UW usually use for their resumes and CVs while applying for jobs/co-ops.

http://www.therecord.com/news-story/5263633-in-brief-man-robbed-on-uw-campus-girl-followed-in-kitchener/ Police are looking for two suspects in connection with a reported robbery at the University of Waterloo that resulted in minor injuries. The male victim was hit in the face and head on Ring Road about 10 p.m. Saturday before the attackers, both wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, fled with his belongings in a white car. Staff Sgt. Donna Mancuso said police are reminding pedestrians to take precautions at night by travelling on well-lit paths and, if possible, in pairs. Anyone with information is asked to call Waterloo Region Police at 519-653-7700 ext. 6310 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

I know that the computer science major needs a term in which you take 2 math courses 1 cs course and 2 non math electives. The math courses need a 65% average and the cs courses need a 70% average. I got a 50 in calc and a 82 in linear algebra in my engineering term. Will this 50 count towards my math average when applying for the CS major or can I choose not to count it? Also, is the 65 and 70 average I mentioned the usual averages that are accepted or is it just the bare minimum? If so, then what is the usual average that is accepted. Thanks. I tried contacting an advisor but they haven't responded yet.

Long story short, I got arrested for something I did, got a diversion and got the charges withdrawn. My fingerprints are still on record and will be on for another 2 years until it's automatically destroyed (couldn't request it earlier). My question is if this will affect me getting a US J1 visa and renewing my study + work permit. I've gotten US visas before the charges with no problem. Edit: Just want to clarify, yes I f*cked up, yes it's 100% my fault, all I want to do now is to be able to move on from this. I just want to be able to get the US visa in the future if needed, and for me to complete my studies in Canada with prospect of staying here in the future to work. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a 4th year student, taking graphics next term and am, of course, super interested in working for Pixar. I know their application process is pretty heavy and I want to be as prepared as possible. I'd be applying for their software jobs but ideally I'd like to move more towards the creative side of the company - something like technical direction. I was considering taking some film studies courses as electives to show interest in what they do beyond just telling them how much I love watching their movies/shorts. Do you think that would/could help at all for a software job? Obviously once I've taken the course I'll try to build some sort of a portfolio or something. Anything else you'd recommend?

Hey guys, I am a computer science student at the University of Victoria. In first year we are able to learn C and Java, or just Java. I was looking at the UWaterloo first year courses and it seems they teach "Racket" until the end of second year. I was wanting to transfer to UWaterloo, but doesn't not knowing "applicable" languages make it harder to get a coop ? Isn't it a disadvantage learning something like Racket instead of more common languages? Here at the end of 2nd year you have have done python/c/java, so this is making me feel weird about transferring. Thanks for the replies!

**TL;DR: When you're getting close to the end of your degree, make an appointment and visit an academic advisor.** I didn't, and I almost got screwed out of a dream job and 4 months of my life wasted taking a first-year Biology course (not to mention tuition and living costs). ---- I took a class, REC 100, back in second year that I *thought* fit into my breadth and depth requirements as a "pure and applied science". However, I was looking at an [out-dated page](https://cs.uwaterloo.ca//current/programs/require/2008-2009/depthAndBreadth) and so that class was a complete waste of my time, apart from filling a generic elective slot. The time came last term for me to submit my intent to graduate, and I was sure that I was all done, provided I pass my classes that term. Then I got an email from a CS advisor a week or two into January saying that the class that I took in second year didn't count. Which meant that I had all 20 credits for my degree, but I was missing a single "pure and applied science" credit. Every other requirement was met. This meant that I would not be able to get my degree once marks were final, which meant I would not be able to get a visa, which meant I would not be able to start the job that I had lined up for next month (in the US, hence the visa). Luckily for me, either because I had a case (REC 100 used to be a "pure and applied science", and [the old pages](https://cs.uwaterloo.ca//current/programs/require/2008-2009/depthAndBreadth) don't list the year they apply to) or because the advisors took pity on me, I was able to squirm my way out of taking that BIO class this term and into getting my degree. (Which is almost too bad, because [Marcel Pinheiro](https://uwflow.com/professor/marcel_pinheiro) is a pretty good prof) The moral of the story is to meet with an advisor when you still have time to correct any mistakes you may have made. If I had just met with an advisor, I could have taken this BIO class a few terms ago, and I wouldn't have had to deal with this stress.

I'm here to post a warning to you all about ACN and their pyramid-esque type scam they're running. I got suckered into attending a presentation at the Waterloo inn that they hold every thursday by a "friend". I personally know people who are involved in this and have been collecting phone numbers in lectures as well as attending conestoga mall to find people. This company will offer you an opportunity to work with them for $500. If you're able to recruit 2 friends within a month, you get your $500 back, if not you have to sell their prepaid plans (which you earn 10% of) to mostly your friends, family or random people you feel you can pester on the street. Don't be fooled, you won't make 'lots of money'. The only thing you're going to do is give ACN another $1,000 because you want your $500 back. Warn your friends and family about this, I've already had several friends come to me asking to join the company, as well as a few strangers after a night out. It's hard to describe their whole operation, so I implore you to do some research of your own. Don't fall victim to this, and educate your friends and family. If you google "acn" or "acn scam" a lot of bad press for the company arises, these are just a few that are worth mentioning. http://mythreecents.com/reviews/acn http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Crimes/Delivered/ACN/ACN%20MLM.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSvuZbi-DIs Edit-Throwaway for privacy reasons.

**DISCLAIMER: This is my personal opinion and is as such biased. Take it with a grain of salt.** I went through roughly ~150 JobMine application packages for a software engineer position (spring 2015). Here are the tidbits of wisdom I've gathered: 0. (preamble) what you get from JobMine (as an employer) is a list of .pdf files, one per applicant. The first page lists their previous co-op terms and evals, then comes their cover letter (if any), then the resume and finally the transcript. 1. TAILORED COVER LETTER OR BUST (kinda). There is a canyon of a difference between a cover letter written for a specific company and a generic one that swaps out company names but remains unchanged for all applications. Hybrid methods are also totally busted; I saw a few that used generic letters but tacked on a tailored sentence at the end. You're not subtle bruh. Your cover letter is the first thing I'm going to read (besides your previous co-op terms, which get glanced at for the most part) and I can guarantee you that a generic "I believe I will be a great asset to [insert company name]" **YAWN** starts you off with a ~30% chance of me not even reading your resume. If you're copy-pasting any of your cover letter, you may as well not have one; it's more likely to hurt you than make a good impression. On the other hand, if your cover letter is clearly written for the position you're applying for at the company (eg. you mention you're interested in the field the position is concerned with, mention how you know the company or why you'd like to work there besides, y'know, money and perks) I can guarantee I'll comb through your resume to try to give myself any reason to keep you in my "potential candidates" list. 3. "Rockstar/wizard/ninja programmer" = GG you're already in the discard pile. 4. ~~"Experience in Java, C and Racket." Goddamnit you silly first years, this one I saw MANY times. It might not matter to every employer out there, but the language is called "Scheme." Putting Racket alongside Java is like saying you're proficient in English, Spanish and Microsoft Word. See how silly that looks?~~ was wrong about that one, my bad /u/uwlol 5. Big fancy websites with parallax and a picture of you with "entrepreneur" or other such buzz words all over. Plz no. I can't take you seriously. 6. Tiny fonts and complicated layouts hurt my eyes. I've been reading resumes for at least an hour now, I don't even want to read through something so tightly packed. What is this, a font for ants? Give your stuff breathing space and drop the overly complicated layouts. This is all, off the top my head. I'll add edits if I think of other ones later on EDIT: The points above are stated somewhat categorically and lie on the slightly exaggerated side of things (eg. you won't necessarily not get the job because of a shitty cover letter). This is also sprinkled with opinion/preference, so take it with a grain of salt.

I am having a GREAT time with racket which I barely have any knowledge left in my brain after almost 3 yrs of break.. Plus I am not in CS which had me take CS115 and CS116. We started on C so I am thinking to just focus on C and not think about racket because it will take so much time and not let me work on other stuff. It took me the whole week to do assignment relating to racket and hopefully the next one is on C. I think we are all assumed to learn C from the scratch Any thoughts? Should I review all the materials for racket as well?

When I'm offering rides for carpool, I usually assume its just going to be one passenger in the front and two in the back. Do you think it's acceptable to offer the middle seat in the back, or would the other passengers want to be informed if there will be three people in the back?

I forgot all about the free trial week and have never done the shoetag fitness classes so I was wondering whether anyone on here had and had any reviews (positive or negative) about the classes or instructors. I'm not interested in any of the classes that have to deal with weights (mostly yoga, power yoga, maybe kickboxing). I would like to sign up to motivate myself to go to them, but at the same time I don't want to burn $50 on classes if the instructors aren't any good or if they are really busy. Anyone have any experiences this semester?

Last semester assignments were chill. You'd do them and hand them in nicely. Now, we have to use crowdmark. I've gotten basically zero on my first two assignments even though I put so much work in and rewrote all my solutions as nice as I can for both of them. Hours and hours spent, just to get zero. Anybody else really pissed about crowdmark? and why the hell do we use it? I just want to hand my assignment in in person!

So official marks and results were supposed to come out midnight. Yet it doesn't say in my transcript anywhere if I obtained my degree yet, even though my average has been updated. I was expecting to graduate in Fall 2014. I will email my advisor right away, but is there any way I can find out? EDIT: Thanks for the input guys, my status got updated to "Degree conferred" on quest the day after standings came out... Over and out, Waterloo!

I'm currently in MATH 138, which requires us to submit handwritten work online. So, we're given two options: either take a picture on your phone or literally scan it at the library. Honestly, the camera scanner app sucks and the solutions are barely legible while most would consider my handwriting neat. Going to the library is a hassle and I'd much rather scan it with a portable scanner or something in the long run. So are there a lot of courses that require handwritten work to be submitted online? I'm a first year math major if that helps. I'm just wondering whether or not I should invest in a portable scanner.

Not sure if any of you guys have this problem.. but I've had countless headphones die on me where the plug/jack gets messed up so sound only comes out of one ear unless you jiggle it a bit. Is there any service/person in Waterloo that can repair some headphones? Probably would just consist of cutting the cord a bit and replacing the audio jack. Thanks!

The problem is that my belongings include a bed, two desks, a foldable table, a bookshelf, a drawer, and other small stuffs like clothes and dishes. I am looking for a firm which not only provides me a personal storage, but also provides pick-up and delivery. I don't mind if it's going to be little pricey because otherwise, I need to rent my current apartment for extra 2 months just to keep my belongings. Thank you

Hi folks, I'm a non-arts student taking a few arts courses this semester. I've searched reddit and facebook but haven't been able to come up with anything. I was curious, does the arts faculty have anywhere I could go to check out some past exams for PHIL 258 or FR 192B? PHIL 258 is also cross-listed as SCI 267. Any chance the science faculty has an exam bank? Thanks!

Hi guys I am an international student applying to Waterloo to study CS. I have heard some amazing reviews on Waterloo's co-op, but Id like to get a more realistic picture. How common is it for a student to get at least an internship at one of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple? Assuming the student has decent grades. Or are those only reserved for the top few? Meaning the rest will intern at a not so well known company? My second question is with regards to obtaining a visa as an international graduate. Assuming I receive a visa to work in Canada, is it possible for me to land a gig over at USA? Or do I need to apply for another visa, and how successful are applicants at obtaining one?
