I have gotten my paperwork together and begun the long and arduous process of finding a co-op job. As of now, I have applied for two jobs, both software development jobs at Business Objects and Orbital Technologies.

Since attending this year’s OpFair at SFU and various other encounters, including an international co-op seminar, I have decided I’d like to go through my co-op terms as such:

• One local work term
• One national work term
• One international work term (thinking Japan)

In addition to those companies that I have some interest in from OpFair, I am also considering seeking co-op work with CSIS or CSE, which, although rare, do exist and are quite difficult to get in due to the whole security procedures needed to get a job with those groups, for obvious reasons.

As well, something else of interest would be doing things related to system administration and networks.

Hopefully more things come up soon! I really hope my work terms will be very interesting.
