Coop's Co-op
How Coop’s Co-op Started
Hi, I'm Cooper,
Most people call me Coop.
I’m a student at Dalhousie University, and like a lot of students, I struggled to find a co-op placement.
I did everything you’re supposed to do: applications, job boards, networking events, and still hit walls.
So instead of waiting, I built a system.
A simple, repeatable workflow that:
-
Identifies the right companies
-
Reaches out directly and professionally
-
Makes it easy for employers to respond
-
Keeps everything organized in one inbox
I didn’t build it as a business.
I built it because I needed a job.
I used the system myself.
It worked. I got hired.
Here are a few screen captures that walk through the process from sending a targeted email, getting an interview, and getting hired.
No screenshots out of context. No theory. Just the process and the result.
That’s when it clicked.
If this worked for me, it could work for other students too.
And that’s how Coop’s Co-op was born.
I’m starting small.
I’m accepting only 5 requests per month.
Dalhousie University first.
Then maybe expanding across Canada.
If it grows, great.
If it helps even a handful of students land placements, even better.
I’m not claiming this replaces hard work.
It just replaces guesswork.
This is the exact system I used.
Nothing more, nothing less.
If you’re a student who’s doing the work and still not getting replies, this might help.
— Coop
