Advice

• Depending on when your degree program allows you to start co-op (usually in your second or third year), the earlier you start looking the better. You should start looking at least 2-3 months in advantage. RIT Job Zone usually has a lot of jobs posted from employees across the country. Your advisor is a great resource as well, since he or she will have a better idea than most professors about your interests and academic ability. They will be able to direct you to co-ops that will suit your talents and strengths. If possible, get involved in academic clubs and undergraduate research. These activities will give you experience, and help you obtain some great references. The more work you do in your field while at school, the more marketable you will be when you graduate. Even if co-ops are not required for your major, you should try to do at least one. They give you a good feel for the field you are going into, and they give you professional experience, which will help you get a job once you graduate.
