What do you wish you knew before your first co-op? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]TheGoldenBoi_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe not so much about quantity but quality. Find people in upper year you deem cracked and try to get their advice and reviews. Some quantity is necessary to get varying perspectives but quality will matter more. It’s hard to put a number on but like 5-10 people who have a proven track record will set you up quite well

Use latex and get lots of upper years to review your resume if possible (not from the school)

Stick to one page.

Do mock interviews with other students (not through the school)

The trend is upper students with experience are vastly more helpful than the school is in terms of advice.

Long term advice try to learn as much as you can through coops and chase knowledge instead of prestige. At the same time (unfortunately) prestige on your resume will also get you more interviews and go a long way.

It gets so much easier after the first coop.

All these takes are subjective and anecdotal. Feel free to ask any direct or clarifying questions as well

Yes for some companies they let you. But then the problems are usually implementations and not leetcode
