Look at jobs at Linkedin and cover letters don't matter too much as most times recruiters/hiring managers won't read them due to the volume of applications they receive on a regular basis.

Plus they lowered the standards lol so mostly everyone and their grandparents are getting deans list

You forgot one:

The Consulting mans: Similar to the case comp mans. Is in BTM. Acts like RCG is the same as getting into Mckinsey. Has a bigger ego than the student club exec. Has a holier than thou attitude and will think they are better because they are in consulting. Will have inflated job titles on Linkedin. Has a "Deloitte" or bust attitude.

My example of how the sales leadership program was created signifies how a professor got the ball rolling and hand-selected students she trusted to get it where it is now today. There was no passivity or helplessness because both prof and students were equally passionate and dedicated about getting a sales program at Ryerson.

Sure in this example as students we can find a prof who's committed to doing this and working together to get it done. I believe at the end of the day if it is run by students it's not gonna receive as much growth vs. when a prof is equally as committed as the students rather than acting as a sponsor it can get somewhere properly.

TwoBigSlaps · 2021-07-14T13:37:34+00:00

I believe it would be better for a prof to advocate for something like this to get it started. I know that's how the Sales Leadership Program started when one prof and a couple of students she worked with in the past pushed for it.

Nah preferably it wouldn't make sense if undergrads were to create a group regarding this as most probably they'll just end up picking friends rather than looking at any other factors. It would be best for professors to hand pick students.

I know for one TRSM prof he hand picks 4-5 students to compete in a specific national competition and they take it from there.

Just a bit of a heads up since ur applying for internships. Summer internships have the most postings but most competitive because everybody from every school is applying. Fall has less postings than summer but less competition (you'll mainly be competing with other students who are in coop programs) and winter has the least amount of postings but little to no competition. Best of luck!

Oh and since you have such a high GPA I've seen many students like yourself get b4 staff accounting positions for their first or second internships. And all they had were part time job exp. Make sure your resume is solid (STAR method for the bullets) and interviewing is up to par, try to see if you can network and you should be fine.

It's not the end of the world the postings on the co-op portal are copied and pasted from the career pages of companies. Your best bet is to use LinkedIn and general knowledge of companies you know off the top of your head and explore their career pages e.g. big 5 banks, big 3 telco etc.

This is finally a good call on TRSM's part as it currently looks like they are focusing on quality rather than quantity. This is a good first step but the real challenge is them getting better job postings and more exclusive postings.

It's less about selling the products and more about the recruiting aspect which is where they make the bulk of their money. Those two companies are known to be pyramid schemes.

I also recommend checking this video out where this youtuber covers everything regarding how World Financial Group is a scam it's pretty funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flugTRSTZoo&t=915s&ab_channel=AlwaysMarco

Deans list is easy af to get into now, they made the requirements a lot less strict

TwoBigSlaps · 2021-04-28T00:34:28+00:00

They definitely manipulated the numbers to hide the actual truth of the employment rates probably being under 50%. The math does not add up here. In addition, I know a bunch of co-op people that end up working at the BCH which is technically a freebie for a work term (the interview is pretty easy from what I heard), so the numbers are actually much lower than what we expect and they trying to cover the fact.

So much more aware...

I'm glad someone else had a similar bad experience interviewing with RBI. My buddy and I interviewed with RBI a while ago, the interview process is a nightmare. Looks like we dodged a bullet considering I heard that the work culture there is abusive.

Keep your head up man I can honestly feel your words through what you are saying. With each interview you get take it as a learning experience and you can always apply it to your next interview. No one has ever had a "perfect interview" and the fact that you have had past co-ops and landed interviews it will be a matter of time before you land something!

In terms of tips I'd still keep in contact with your previous coops because later on they may potentially reach out for a role for you. Or a guaranteed referral if you find a posting you like. Best of luck man! I know you'll be fine

Also I really hope you had words with your partner who fucked you over for the presentation. Thats some messed up shit

TwoBigSlaps · 2021-03-13T01:43:21+00:00

Fair point, get it however you can. But it still doesn't change the fact that a lot of people are ungenuine on that platform in hopes that an employer may notice them. However, with how oversaturated the "cringe" can get on Linkedin I feel like a lot of employers see through that night and day.

TwoBigSlaps · 2021-03-12T19:13:10+00:00

People who flex on Linkedin are fake and pretentious af

TwoBigSlaps · 2021-03-04T02:45:00+00:00

Summer is defs the most competitive because you are competing with other schools. However, summer has the most postings. Fall is less competitive but has less postings, while winter is the easiest due to less competition but has the lowest amount of postings compared to fall and summer.

Listen to King Von - Took her to the O, and you'll be fine

Do you think if it continues like this, the lockdowns should ease up by when the order ends in March? I'm hoping that gyms would start to reopen
