Hey!
Hell week is over! Hope it went well. Be sure to get in touch with your professors and TAs once you get your midterms back. As I have said before, it’s never too late to improve your grades. Use all the resources available to you, i.e. tutorials, help sessions, and office hours.
Now that midterms are out of the way, it’s time to shift your attention back to Jobmine. Rankings for the first round are now complete. Congratulations to all those who got an offer and are no longer job-hunting! For the students working away from home or out of province, start looking into your travel plans as well as accommodation.
For those of you going into the second round of postings, take another look at your resume; make sure it is organized, error-free, current, and honest. If you are interested in a particular job and feel that you are the perfect fit, write a cover letter for it. Cover letters should reflect your personality and skills. Don’t copy a cover letter for every job. Personalize it for each job application to fit the requirements and your skill set.
When you get selected for an interview make sure you read up on the background of the company and skills required in the job description. Prepare yourself before the interview by answering a few behavioural and technical questions you have been asked before. Just remember: don’t panic, keep calm, and do your best.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me an email at vpeducation.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
