Cooperative education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a requirement at my college for engineering degrees.

ah, so it is similar to the "Dual studies" here, in which you get both an apprenticeship as skilled worked and study for bachelor of science.

(But in case of my employer, he also pays your tutoring fees and a modest salary, during that education, not sure you also get this)

@ Mattyv - Don't neglect to mention any academic awards you may have received also. If you are young, the hiring managers can expect a thin resume (how do you make that squiggly thing above the last "e" there? I can never remember...).

Academic clubs, social clubs, extra-curricular activities and the like should provide a one page snapshot of who you are. Also avoid boilerplate language, the HR person has seen it all before. Don't exaggerate, but do sell yourself. One of my current managers (who also happens to have potential to be quite a good manager) started here at TVA Watts Bar as a co-op student.

I just don't have many to list. Luckily it doesn't have to be submitted for several weeks. Today was more of a practice run.

@urwumpe We do get payed a good wage, no undergraduate slave labor here. :lol:

We are aware that a small number of students are still struggling with the “libraries” feature Microsoft introduced in Windows 7 (point “can’t recover saved work” on your document) which creates multiple places in which the students can save, none of which are their H drive. As a result of not going to their H drive they are saving work in temporary locations which are not retained when the computer logs off...

Thank goodness for Dropbox!

Thank goodness for Dropbox!

Or the provided network drive! Bet no one thought of THAT! :lol:

It's either cooperative education or a supermarket chain called The Co-Operative (short version: Co-Op), which we get over here aswell.

Or a bunch of farmers in the US.
(I only know that because of Trainz 06 and some family in Colorado)

The Sovereign-class U.S.S. Hatsune Miku (NCC-93901-D) with a "Reman Prototype Covariant Shield Array" (I like the color and the honeycomb pattern)

I love tessellating hexagon motifs when they're intended to look high-tech or futuristic.

After driving myself to a panic attack, my computer has finally decided to work again. I decided to clear house, and do a scan with Malwarebytes, and nothing popped up, nonetheless, I've cleared out a considerable amount of HDD space

And we're paying for high-speed internet why?? This is why I'm never on the Minecraft server. :facepalm:

Just curious: do you think that might have been the cause of the malfunction during your return flight from the moon?

 

[mojoey]

no, as I have discovered, the at-fault software was introduced after the troubled return

I was searching a website to share pictures, videos, documents in one place instead of using 3.
I'm trying http://jarodevans.minus.com/
So far the only complaint I have is the lack of subfolders.
There is 10 GB available so that should be more than enough for me.

Today was an awesome day! Paolo Nespoli held a short lecture at my university, and we all were surprised at how approachable he was! Sadly there were only two hours for this lecture, but it was still great.

It goes without saying that the class was really crowded, of course.

The description of the reentry aboard the Soyuz was priceless: "a series of catastrophic events".

Back to the random...

A congressman was seated in first class next to a little girl on an airplane. He turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the congressman. "How about global warming, universal health care or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly.

"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"

The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, universal health care or the economy when you don't know crap?"

Then she went back to reading her book.

I caught some tadpoles today, then took a picture with my crappy webcam:

I named them Algernon & Pickles.

I was going to put something like this together, but it turns out it's already been done:

Badger badger badger badger...

How did my German class go from verb tenses to this?
