Consider and Independent Job Search

Use an independent job search to supplement the online services provided by the SCDC. Conduct an independent search by:

• Analyzing your goals and asking yourself "What kind of co-op job would I like to have?"
• Talk to your family and friends about job opportunities - network, network, network!
• Spend time researching the Internet for companies with positions within your major and preferred geographical locations. Also, utilize newspaper and library resources.
• Prepare a cover letter and have your co-op coordinator critique it. Also, have your family and friends look at your resume. Resume-writing is very subjective - the more eyes that look at it the better!
• Begin your independent job search: send cover letter and your resume. Follow-up after you've sent your resume to make sure that the employer received it!
