Product Review
The co-op guidebook is a student's Bible to landing that great job during co-op semesters and even upon graduation. It's the only book that I've used for all five years of college! The information contained in this guidebook may be overwhelming at first, but believe me when I say that it will greatly influence your resume skills, interview skills, and job searching skills. --Keith Laughman, Northeastern Univ. Class of 2002
Understanding transferable skills -- and knowing how to use and express them -- is an essential quality for an interviewee and also one of my favorite parts of this guidebook. --Gabriel Glasscock, Northeastern Univ. Class of 2002

Reader ReviewsI am a student at Northeastern University and had Scott as my coop teacher. This book will help any college student who is looking for a job get a big head start. It has a lot of resumes and explains why they are good or bad. I was able to tailor my resume around all the aspects of a great resume he had and came out with a masterpiece. Also as college students not many of us have much interviewing skills, especially with large corporations. Scott explains the different interviewing tactics, how to prepare, and how to overcome event he hardest interview. This is the only book i have not sold back and plan on keeping it until long after i graduate.
