This sumer has been fairly quiet and relaxing until yesterday. About two weeks ago I was finally offered a co-op job with Copeland Corpand this fall and I accepted it. Yesterday morning, I was informed that due to down-sizing my position may have been eliminated. Apparently they knew this for a week and a half and decided to tell me an hour before ( Read more... )

what the heck? that's so crappy. i keep hearing more and more negative stories about co-op...i beginning to wonder...

my dad works with an engineering grad from uah who tried the entire time he was there to get a co-op and never succeeded. gah, thats ridiculous.

i hope everything works out for you, sammo. i'll pray about it.

so there's not sending out resumes at all until a few weeks from now? that would explain why i haven't heard anything at all from them...but i'm not really surprised about that.

I'm one semester away from not being eligible to co-op and I've been trying since I started UAH. The co-op office really doesn't care whether you have a job or not...just as long as they have all their precious paper work to get funding.

Heh, it's not worth it to actually "co-op" through a university. That's the "most cases" scenario I keep hearing, anyways. I'm told it's not just UAH, but rather universal.

Just see if you can find an internship or something. You've obviously got a decent resume going, so, be independent, and do it yourself.
