Co-op On-line Mandatory Orientation Presentation
This presentation must be viewed in its entirety, and you must complete the CSSH Co-op
Search and Work Agreement form
- by Tues, Sept 17th, 2019 -
NO EXCEPTIONS
What you have to do to go on
Co-op in January of 2020?
1. Take, and successfully complete, the
Co-op Professional Development Course
EESH2000 (preferably with Lisa W). (You only need to take this once)
2. MEET ALL DEADLINES! (see this hyperlink and slide 4)
FYI – some of the first few slides of this presentation are repetitive with the CSSH Co-op Search and Work Agreement Form. Please read them . I want you to be able to save this as a PDF and refer to the information all in one place
1. Make a Resume Approval appointment with Lisa ASAP. ****The earlier you make this meeting, the better…if you wait, it may be hard to get in******** Also, please know that you may need more than one meeting with Lisa to APPROVE your resume, so please plan ahead.
2. Email updated and “excellent” draft of your resume (in Word) before meeting with Lisa***follow the format in her Resume Guide, make sure it is a good 4th draft or soYou can also refer to slide 23 for links to Lisa’s resume guide, etc.) for help.
3. Have your resume approved and posted on NUcareers… NO
LATER THAN NOON – Mon, Sept 30th
1st timers cannot search for a co-op job on NUCareers until their resume has been
approved. It must be approved by this date to be eligible for co-op and to begin a job search.
Resume Approval* *required for 1st timers. Suggested for 2nd and 3rd timers.
❑ I will open enough meeting times to fit in as many appointments as possible before the deadlines, but appointments may still be hard to getand timing VERY tight! So plan ahead (Set up a meeting with me soon).
❑ If you cancel an appointment you must do so 24 hours BEFORE the appointment to allow other students time to sign up in your place.
❑ Read through this presentation, my previous emails, webpage, class handouts, etc. BEFORE asking a question (in case I already told you the answer)…I want to help!...my job is to help .. but please be mindful, thoughtful and considerate of everyone’s time
❑ “Process your thoughts” before emailing me….send me ONE email instead of 5….
❑ I strive to get back to people quickly…I will do my best (please do your best too)
Time flies fast in this co-op cycle. So this is what you and I need to do…
❑ I may only be able to meet with each student once (before
the resume deadline). So “what does that mean?”…. that
means you need to
✓Come see me early on (the early bird gets the worm, and can sign
up for another meeting if they need one).
✓Make sure your resume is great before you come see me
(get extra help from my webpage or at Career Design if needed)
✓ Email your resume in WORD (.doc or .docX) well before the
meeting (NU students can download it for free)
✓Be on time for the resume approval meeting
✓Be prepared!
✓Meet ALL deadlines! (I may NOT have time to hunt you down and
• Some companies require cover letters or statements that
need to be attached as packages in NUcareers(this is a good hint that they are usually great – and competitive co-ops)…
Don’t let it scare you away…follow the directions and complete everything as asked BEFORE the job choice deadline✓ (if you do NOT do what is asked – cover letter, etc. – you will NOT be able to
apply and be sent)
• Interested in Boston Community Impact Co-ops (BCIC) this was formerly called the CSLP (Community Service Learning Program)?
positions include:
❑ Rosie’s Place,
❑ AIDS Action,
❑ Food Project, and
❑ BMC Pediatric Grow Clinic– essays and resumes required to apply
• The employers will see all applications and decide whom to call, interview, etc.
– Some start right away and others take their time, we are not always aware of when they have started.
• Some employers will be using the system more fully which can give us clues as to where you stand in the process. What you might see next to your app (under APP STATUS):
– ….nothing…..
• The employers may not note anything in NUCareers (we encourage them to; but they might not)
• This could mean you might be contacted,
• Or it could mean they are not considering you at this time.
– “Not Selected for Interview”
• The employer has chosen not to consider you. You may not be qualified; or there might be too many applicants more qualified than you.
– “Interested”
• You have made the first cut; the employer is considering reaching out to you
– “Selected for Interview”
• The employer wants to invite you to interview. Hopefully they will reach out to you soon.
– “Offer Extended”
• The employer has offered you the position (they might not use NUCareers to do this – but if they do, the system will say this); you have 48 business hours to accept the job; if you do not accept within this timeframe, the offer will move to the next candidate
• Stay in touch with Lisa!(at least once a week) to let her know how it is going, if you have gotten interviews, added jobs, etc.)
• Interview. Good luck!If you do not get a lot of interview requests…… persist, widen your search, and let Lisa know. If you keep at it, you will most likely succeed!
• Add more job choices (if needed). Email Lisa to let her know
• Interview more….
• Accept a job. Congratulations! Let Lisa know. Submit any needed forms. Follow up with any other employers you have been in contact with to let them know you are “off the market”
Nice work! ☺
Accepting a Job
• When offered a job THROUGH NUCAREERS, respond to accept or decline the position within 48 hours of the offer (2 business days).
• When offered a job (not through the automated NUCareers system), respond to accept or decline the position within 3 business days.
See this flier for more tips.
• Think it through before you accept a job, because once you have accepted a position, you may NOT change your mind and accept another offer.
• Let your Co-op Coordinator know as soon as you have accepted a job.
• Circle back with all other employers that have contacted you and let them know you accepted a different job. Thank them for their interest.
• Think about what you learned in the classroom. How does it apply?
• If you have problems, or START to think there is an issue of concern (i.e. you might be fired, sexual harassment or racial discrimination) CALL ME IMMEDIATELY, preferably before you take any action. I need to know and can probably help.
• There are no vacations while on co-op.You MUST work the entire period (Mon, Jan 6th - Fri, June 25th, 2020)**.Some employers may require you to work earlier and/or later. **Note – this means you are expected to work with no breaks unless pre-arranged at time of hire, etc.
• You are asked to do a few things WHILE on co-op (such as confirm your supervisor, create learning outcomes, complete and “end of co-op” evaluation, etc.) See this link for a compete list, directions, etc.
