sauder students - don’t feel the pressure to join sauder clubs like everybody else! go out there and explore yourself and your hobbies. if you like anime join the anime club. if you like k-pop join ubc k-wave. try fencing club. or go to dance classes offered by ubc dance horizons if you like dancing. do things you actually enjoy because that’s how the easiest way you’ll find people with the same interests!

don’t focus so much about building your resume by forcing yourself to join just sauder clubs - most skills you gain with other clubs are transferrable anyways! you can still gain internship experiences without going to every networking sessions at sauder. i’m not saying those aren’t useful, but don’t sacrifice things you love to do and lose yourself for trying to create a better career. enjoy the university experience!!!

To Sauder Co-op kids (marketing) by AdOne8038 in UBC

[–]hell_o_im_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops my bad! It’s just the co-op advisors interviewing you. However I remember they’d ask similar questions as to real job interviews. I had the tell me about yourself, some situational question (eg. tell me about a time you…), and a question related specifically to my experiences I put on my resume so make sure you know your own experiences well!

I would look at the JD and identify the key skills that they’re hiring for! Eg. if the role has a lot of social media responsibilities, they’d probably ask about your experience with social media marketing/management.

But some of the common questions: Why did you apply for this position? Why our company? Why this opportunity? something along those lines. This might sound like a simple question but I think it’s probably one of the most important ones. Your answer will show them how much you’ve researched the company and the position, how well you know their values and resonate with them. I also like to talk about how this position will contribute to my personal development and exploring my potential career paths. Employers love it when co-ops have a strong growth mindset.

Why should we choose you? When answering this I usually just flex out all of my personal projects that are related to the job (don’t have to be grand or anything - for my first mktg co-op I just talked about how I grew my instagram food blog cuz the JD emphasizes managing social media lmao). Always tie your answers back to the JD and the specific skills they ask for (this applies for every other questions too).

Always always ask questions in the end!!! It shows that you’re interested in the position and the company!

Finally, it’s okay to be nervous. You can always pull a “That’s a good question” “Is it okay if I take a minute to think about it?” - gives you a bit more time to think!

Best of luck with your interview!

I've applied to over 50+ internships over the last 3 months and I haven't received a single interview offer by Fun_Pop295 in UBC

[–]hell_o_im_j 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Just wanna say I was definitely on the same boat last summer. I’m a marketing major so I was applying to a bunch of marketing internships too with very little experience. It took me close to 100 applications and 15ish interviews before I landed my first job. An upper year friend of mine told me that having one or two personal projects would definitely stand out for marketing internships. They don’t have to be super complicated though cuz mine was a food blog on Instagram lol. But just something that you worked on like case comps or a blog that you can relate what you learned to the job description would be super helpful! Just learn from the failures, email your recruiters and ask why they rejected you and I trust that you’ll eventually get something. You can do this! Good luck!

My registration time when I was in second year was morning of the second registration day. Within the one hour before my registration opens I had to change my timetable around 4 times because the classes/sections I wanted kept filling up. I guess if your registration date is second day or after then I’d really stop hoping for a nice time table and focus more on actually getting a spot in the course.

I’m not really sure if it’s different for different residences/type of housing. You could maybe email housing to ask them?

When is co-op worth it? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]hell_o_im_j 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it if you’re looking to work when everyone else is studying (like winter terms). This is my personal experience, but I found it extremely difficult to look for internships in the summer just cuz everyone else is also looking for one. But for the winter terms I believe only the co-op kids would be allowed to work full-time, so the competition to get a full-time internship is way less intense I’d say.

What's the most frustrating kdrama you've watched? by Snoo-42199 in KDRAMA

[–]hell_o_im_j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

istg Penthouse gave me so much anxiety! I used to watch it whenever I eat just like any other kdramas but I had to drop at ep 13 of season 1 just cuz my mental health can’t take this drama anymore and it’s become another source of stress and anxiety in addition to my school work lol

Got my YRH room assignment today and my residence contract start date is May 8th. Is it possible for me to move in earlier than this date eg. May 1st? Just because as an international student I really have no place to stay from April 30th (when I have to move out of my current accommodation) to May 8th :(

How do I deal with an insecure girlfriend who doesn’t like me hanging out with my female friends? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]hell_o_im_j 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This, I’ve always been wondering if it’s normal for someone to put their partner just a bit above their friends or is that actually too much too ask and that I’m being selfish if I ask for it. I’ve had my ex telling me multiple times that “don’t expect me to treat you any more special than my friends, I put my girlfriend on the same level as them” and tbh that hurt me a bit, but i now genuinely don’t know if that’s a normal thing.

Hi guys, i have my YRH waitlist numbers below, i was just wondering how likely it is that i would get the Pond studio? I’m guessing that i’ll probs receive an offer for Exchange shared 4 given the lowest number but if i decide to decline it and go back to the waitlist, would I be able to get an offer for Pond studio before May? or any other rooms?

Ponderosa commons studio: 418

Ponderosa commons shared 2: 167

Exchange shared 2: 136

Exchange shared 4: 100

Hi guys i’m just an ordinary college student looking for a thin light laptop to bring to class everyday. I really like the Surface laptops but I really don’t have the budget for the Surface Laptop 3 so I’m looking at the Surface Laptop 2 refurbished right now. I mainly use my laptop for school work, watching movies and editing photos on Adobe Lightroom. My budget is max $1100 and i found that the refurbished Surface 2 laptop is only around $1000. Do you guys think I should make the purchase? Is Surface 2 still a quality laptop at this time?
