That's why it's crucial to meet the deadlines we set. The first draft of your "perfectly imperfect" resume submission is due August 21 before 11:59 p.m. You will then collaborate with your captains to gather feedback and work toward a 5/5 on your resume.

Building connections with mentors is a key component of the COOP Careers Fellowship. We encourage you to set up virtual coffee chats and informational meetings with your program manager, captains, and alumni as soon as you get to know folks.
🕙 Office hours
Associate directors and program managers hold office hours each week. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, seek advice, or simply check in. We encourage you to make the most of this resource! Ask your captain or program manager for the Calendly links after your program starts.
