My Friend's Co-op Experiences

My friend Sean got the awesome opportunity to work for LiveNation Canada during the co-op term. It was such a great opportunity for him since he comes from an academic music background and is a huge music lover in general. Working as a support to the marketing team he completed a wide variety of tasks and gained a good understanding of corporate life. A major perk of his job was that he received free concert tickets!

My other friend Stephanie chose to spend her co-op term working at Richardson GMP. She spent most of her time doing administrative work but got the opportunity to learn about finance- I find this interesting because I worked the events side, a total contrast to finance. Steph had a great experience and highly recommends Richardson GMP.

Alison also worked at Richardson GMP and was able to gain a lot of insight in the financial industry. Alison and Steph, like Sean received many perks such as free breakfast and "kitchen parties". She also had a really great experience and left the company with only good things to say!

My Co-op Experience

My George Brown Co-op experience was great. I spent it working at the Michael "Pinball" Clemons Foundation. The name is obviously what drew me into applying, I mean come on, the great Pinball whose jersey is mounted in our basement hall of fame! Most of my days at the office revolved around event planning and research, which was something different but also something that I found myself liking. It was great working at a non-profit for my first "real" job, it opened my eyes to a whole different kind of work that didn't really seem like "work" because it was for such a great cause. Tonight I am heading to the annual gala which I spent majority of the co-op term planning for, I am excited to see how all my hard work panned out!
