What is included in a co-op resume?
The type of information that appears on the co-op resume is similar to that of other types of resumes. The headings that should be included on the co-op resume are Objective, Availability, Education, Honors/Awards, Key Courses, Computer Skills, Work Experience, Community Service, Professional Affiliations, and Skills/Interests/Activities. The main difference between the co-op resume and other types of resumes is the Availability section. This section helps employers and the career development staff know when you are available to work in a co-op placement. A sample of what a co-op resume should look like is located below.
