1. Submit a job description via email to coop-arts@sfu.ca

Please submit your job description the semester before you would like to hire your Co-op student. Indicate in your email whether you would like to hire a student for four or eight months, and how many students you would like to employ.

In order to ensure that advertised positions are appropriate learning experiences for our students, no position is posted on-line without first being reviewed by a Co-op Coordinator. Jobs are examined for appropriateness of duties, alignment of work period, competitive salary, and compliance with employment legislation. If there are any questions about your posting, a Co-op Coordinator from our area will be in touch with you.  

2. Receive applicants

Student resume / cover letter / information packages will be forwarded to you via email (PDF attachment) or, if you prefer, by fax or courier.

3. Respond with your short-listed candidates

Decide which candidates you would like to interview for your position and inform us of your choices, as well as the interview times that you have available. We will then take care of scheduling the interviews with your short-listed candidates. Once all candidates are confirmed for the interviews, we will notify you of which students will be seeing you, when.

4. Conduct Interviews and Rank Candidates

Interviews are generally conducted at your workplace; however, if you request, we can book space on campus (Burnaby or Downtown at Harbour Centre).

Once you have decided which student to hire, inform us of your top choice, and how the other candidates rank. We will verify acceptance from the student and contact you with the results.
