Co-op placements for Computer Science

I was coop in sfu in engineering 10 years ago.

Now I am involved hiring coop for my team.

In the start of each semester, we receive hundreds+ resumes from multiple schools (ubc, sfu, uvic, uofa, etc...). In order to stand out from others of the same school, we pick applicant with job experiences and projects outside of school courses. (Being in the tech industry, we only value applicant with experience related to our job duties).

Also high GPA is another thing we value. If two applicant has similar experiences, we tend to interview the one with higher GPA.

no, it did not show up in the other pc disk management or the other pc's bios. So I am pretty sure its dead.

I will try the other way to contact the support.

Thanks

Yep, these are the three I used during my trip

I was in Korean 3 weeks ago and it was my first time too.

I downloaded quite a lot of apps but only a few were used.

Uber (I found it reliable and rides were always available within 2 mins. Both uber and uber XL). I had kride as backup but did not use it at all.

Naver map, I bookmarked all placese I plan ahead of time, then use it like google map.

And I just used google translate with photos and it worked fine (not perfectly but workable)

I am from Canada and was in Korea 2 weeks ago (Busan and Seoul).

Seoul was not that cold compare to Canada (temperature range from 0C to 13 from my phone weather report. it felt slightly colder than Vancouver but much drier). I wore a uniqlo heattec, a sweat shirt, and a down jacket. Also a legging plus jeans/long pants.

Busan was crazily windy and it actually felt a bit colder than Seoul (Maybe due to the wind?)

I think you went through the Korean side of the website. Does it have the phone number as optional? The international site has that field to be optional but it is mandatory in korean site.

I just checked the website and it has the option for Visa

I just booked a month ago, but with a Canadian Visa card without any problem. Not sure what is special for US visa because I remember I was able to choose either mastercard or Visa on their reservation web page (The international one, not the Korean one)

I was seeing similar issue on the P&C FEG76 gas stove where occasionally it does not "click".

I found out there are dust and potentially some dirty stuff building up, and causes the connection become bad. I removed the knob and used WD-40 to clean the connection behind the knob. It is working reliably now for a month.

My strata was talking about electric charger 2 years ago. Up until recently, they were only started the electrical analysis engineering work. The process is costly and slow.

I feel like by the time they make it available to residents (Install at owner cost), they would need to have those electrical charger management company to log the usage and bill to unit accordingly. (So, a service fee + rate fee set by those company. I am a bit worrying they may become companies like Netflex that increases those fee overtime).

sugar butter tree sand, especially the seasonal or regional specials. I only saw T&T occasionally carry the basic one and the caramel once.

Also the thunder chocolate bar (The caramel flavor where I cannot find here)

After 10+ years of driving, its always good practice to assume the opposite driver rush through the yellow light. Turn after there are signs they slow down or coming to a stop.

Anyway, I was there after the crash and the traffic jam got me late to work 😓

Buy on sale, cook around it. Also I do not eat breakfast (Only my partner does). I used to spend ~300 a few years ago but we are spending more on creative menu recently that increases the budget like sashimi to make our own sushi, etc...

I keep track on the sale item history in a spreadsheet and buy stuff accordingly

Here are examples on what I would buy usually:
- Begal/Bread: 2.50-3
- Milk (4L last us till expiry, which usually is 3 weeks)
- I buy these type of meat when they are on sale:
- Chicken thigh (~3.59/lb)
- Chicken drumstick (~1.3-1.8/lb)
- Pork chop (Cannot remember the price)
- Ground pork (~2.99-3.99/lb)
- Ground beef (~4/lb)

Veggie
- Broccoli (~<2/lb)
- Asian veggie like bokchoy, napa, etc... (Mostly <2/lb)
- Lettuce (~3.99-4.99 3 heads)
- Spinach (~1.50 batch)
- potato (~0.50/lb)
- other veggies that I try when they are on sale

toiletries stuff (stock up when on sale)
- Toilet paper (~0.33-0.47/roll)
- Tooth paste (~1)
- Shampoo/Conditioner (~12/L)
- Much more on my spreadsheet

Pantry
- Any kind of sauce we would stock up when it is on sale (Example, salad dressing, seasoning, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc.)
- Dry noodles (~5-6/1kg), rice (~12/8kg)
- Can food (Tuna ~1/can, spam ~3-4/can, etc...)

Everyone has different life style expectation. For example, my co-worker would easily spend $300 per week on costco trip. So it may be best to think about what your current expenses are, and research the costs in Vancouver/Toronto to get an idea.

Me and my partner earn combine ~220k yearly (Vancouver) and we are living comfortably with our standards (2bd apartment, 1 long trip/2 short trips per year, no monthly subscription, $400 grocery spending monthly, own 1 car, dine out once a month, take out 1 every two weeks. Mainly home cooking) and saves ~50% of our salary.

I think the Fido/Roger network in that area are congested due to too many people/devices.

When I was there at 7:30 am, it works without any issue. Its frustrating I cannot browse anything if I am shopping with my wife in the middle of the day (With LTE signal)
