It is important to realize the commitment co-op represents. Here are some points that will help you to make the best out of your co-op experience.
- Expect the co-op process to take up a lot of your time; students in the past have said that it's like taking another course.
- Co-op is about learning what you like and what you don't like. Don't be discouraged by other students who had a bad experience in a certain field/job. Just because you've heard about one bad experience does not mean that it's a bad position.
- Occasionally students might not be placed in a particular semester. This is normal; some of our best co-op students were not placed in their first semester!
- Attend the workshops because they are held for your benefit. Think about it: you will be competing against students who have gone to the workshops - who do you think will come out ahead?
- Don't worry if you didn't get a job immediately since the majority of our students get placed later in the semester! The lightning round (which starts at the same time classes end) is a busy time for Biomedical Physiology & Kinesiology Co-op. Hang in there! Some of our best jobs come in late in the semester.
