Spring 2008 Schedule for Participation in
Fall 2008 Co-op

Divisions A & T: Mechanical, Industrial Engineering
and Mechanical Engineering Technology Majors

January 7 - February 7 Meet with your Co-op Coordinator
We will review your employer evaluation, review your resume, and discuss your co-op plans for the Fall 2008 term. Please also update your contact information in myNEU Cool; we will use your email and phone numbers to contact you throughout the semester, and during your co-op.

February 8 Final Resume Upload Due
Upload your final resume to myNEU COOL. This version of your resume will be emailed to employers, so please make sure your on-line resume is perfect. Notify your coordinator when your resume has been uploaded, so we can “release” you to access the employer listings for your major.

February 15 - 18 Complete Employer Referral Selections on myNEU COOL
Once you are “released” by your coordinator and gain access to the company information, review the employers and job descriptions listed. Please select and rank 5 companies as “very interested” and 5 companies as “moderately interested”, based on industry, geography, etc. We will use this electronic information to determine where your resume will be sent.

February 19 - 29 Referral Discussion with your Co-op Coordinator
Students planning to interview MUST make an appointment with your co-op coordinator during this week to review where your resume will be sent. Please make this appointment online.

March 5 Co-op Coordinators email resumes to employers.
Note: Student appointments will not be available during this time.

March 6 - 7 Employer contact information sent to students.
Contact information for employers where your resume was sent will be emailed to you.

March 6 - April 25 Students contact employers, set up interviews, and secure employment.
Students must be in frequent contact with their coordinators during this time period to provide progress updates and report any issues, and to improve coordinator communications with employers.

April 28 - June 27 Interviewing continues.
Students who have not yet found employment are expected to continue with the interviewing process. Students should be in contact with their co-op coordinators at least twice per week during this time period, until they secure employment.
