Job Search Info Session

The Job Search Info Session is a practical presentation that helps students navigate the process of finding co-op placements and internships in tech.

This is one of the most important events we run during the Winter term, especially in January, when second-year students are often beginning their first job search.

🧩 What It Is​

This is a presentation-style event that covers all the core topics students need to know for a successful job search:

  • Where to find jobs (co-op portal, job boards, networking, etc.)
  • Explanation of what to expect form Carleton Co-op
  • How to write a strong tech resume
  • What to expect in interviews (technical and behavioral)

⚠️ Things to Consider​

Make Sure the Presenter Has Relevant Experience​

  • The person (or people) giving the presentation should have recent, successful experience with co-ops or internships.
  • Avoid having someone present just because they’re available — the value of this session comes from the quality of the insight shared.
