Record-setting main round for co-op interviews

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

This past February saw the Tatham Centre filled with talented students, armed with résumés and crisp shirts, as main round co-op interview numbers soared to record heights.

February 4 set the tone for the month, with 195 employer interviews scheduled. That lead to 1,184 students being interviewed in a single day - the highest number ever for a winter term! Overall, winter 2016 saw a 9 per cent increase from last year and a record high for main round interviews in a winter term.

The progress didn’t stop there; with a 19 per cent increase in Skype interviews and a 17 per cent increase in phone interviews compared to last winter term, the university continues to provide a first-class, accessible interview experience for those employers and students who cannot visit the Tatham Centre.

Thanks go out to all those who had a role in this term’s success. Good luck to all co-op students on their work terms!
