This course builds on the foundational job search concepts introduced in COPB50H3, providing opportunities to refine application strategies and practice interviewing in various formats, based on industry hiring practices for organizations hiring Arts co-op students. Students experience a Co-op job search cycle by reviewing, selecting, and applying to job postings weekly and receiving feedback similar to when participating in job search. With this feedback, and the support of your Coordinator, students make adjustments to their job search approach and develop strategies for success to be used in the following terms for both job applications and interview performance. The importance of a job search network and research to tailor and prepare during your job search, as well as essential skills for success in the workplace and dynamics of workplace culture are also examined.
This course is a compulsory requirement for the Arts and Science Co-op programs. Students need to pass the course before proceeding to seek for a Co-op work term, therefore, this course may be repeated.
