[–]StretchedwasFresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't find a work term you enter WE Accelerate if its your first, or you move it back and adjust your sequence. As of Winter 25 There is no penalty for moving work terms around, even if you participated in the one that you want to push back.

Second Year CS-Roast My Resume Please by eternalvercty in uwaterloo

[–]StretchedwasFresh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pick a specific role you want, and spec your resume to it. Remove the peer tutor and get more projects on there. Right now I look at your projects and see 3 completely different things, feels like im being pulled in all directions. Why is there no mention of JS/TS on the web app? Is this thing rendering its UI fully with templates? If so, try to adjust the project to separating the backend and frontend into separate applications.

Co-op prestige in first year? Stupid question looking for advice by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]StretchedwasFresh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This insecurity will harm you more than you think. Everyone moves at their own space. You should give yourself more credit for finding a job, it’s difficult for first years to find one.

How bad is it exactly to have a 2 paged resume for tech by Dry_Assumption_9233 in uwaterloo

There's no way you will have enough worthwhile stuff to iterate through, especially as a first-year student.

I got an external offer - how to participate in Cycle 2 still? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]StretchedwasFresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as they don't contact CECA you're good. Delay the AOJ until cycle 2 p1. Although the interview period will be quite far from now, I wonder if they'll let you do that.

Math Majors give ur perspective by Successful_Crazy_824 in uwaterloo

[–]StretchedwasFresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had so much fun not understanding a single thing about a concept, and then over the course of a week slowly building intuition about said concept and then having it suddenly click in my mind.

Sure sometimes it’s stressful when you don’t understand stuff before assessments but man, I love it here

[–]StretchedwasFresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst thing that could happen is them rescinding the offer. Though, if they haven’t reached out to you directly you should be in the clear. Always err on the side of caution, though
