It is a good idea to prepare several extra sets for your advisor to keep on file. Be absolutely certain you have made no spelling, punctuation, capitalization or typographical errors. Copies should be neat, clean and have a professional appearance. Use action verbs to describe your experiences, e.g., accomplished, administered, analyzed, applied, arranged, categorized, communicated, compiled, completed, conducted, constructed, contributed, coordinated, created, designed, developed, directed, documented, drafted, established, evaluated, expanded, formulated, identified, implemented, improved, initiated, managed, negotiated, organized, participated, researched, selected, supervised, tested, trained, verified, wrote. Either through electronic postings or through individual meetings with advisors, you will receive information about interviewing opportunities on and off campus.
Employers schedule on-campus interviews for several weeks each term.
You can schedule a specific interview by meeting with your advisor. You are expected to attend any interview for which you are scheduled or inform the Co-op Office if you must cancel. Failure to do so could result in forfeiting eligibility for future interviews. Employers who cannot schedule campus visits often request recommendations regarding candidates for employment. The advisor, after discussions with students, sends appropriate credentials to the employer in a process known as direct referral .
