Your CoOp should help you to:
Here are a number of quotes from UL students about CoOp:
"I know at interview I was questioned about the work experience I had done. Some of it seemed quite menial at the time, but what I learned was quite significant. So it is not necessarily how wonderful the job sounds but what you as an individual got out of it and put into it, how it shapes you into something."
"The work and travel has really added to my CV. It is a talking point, and no matter what job you are going for, you can show that you have an outgoing personality and can work with people from any cultural background."
"I was hell-bent on doing a CoOp with a Multinational but I got an offer from a small business consultancy. I loved working in a smaller culture; there was a very down-to-earth friendly atmosphere. The best thing was the responsibility I was given within weeks of starting the placement. As it was very much an "all hands on deck" approach I managed to gain experience in all areas of the business, something that probably wouldn't have been possible in a larger company."
"Everything was strange at first; German language, strange working hours even the food. But my job was brilliant and I made some great friends who I'm still in contact with. I got to see Prague, Vienna and even went skiing in the Italian Alps. I wouldn't swap the experience for anything."
