---Google 今年OFFER ：$1536/week + 9000 for housing

工资每个星期1536美金，包吃三餐，因为公司宿舍已经安排满了，所以另外给9000美金（16周）让他自己租房（如果选择工作12周，也是一次性补助9000美金），9000美金租个单人房估计会剩下的，就归自己了。美国加拿大就是税高，这样的工资，大概要交35%的税，租房补贴也要缴税。

1. Must be paid

You must receive actual remuneration for your co-op work term. 

The job must pay at least the provincial minimum wage (in Canada). 

In all other situations, if you are concerned about salary, please refer to the credit worthiness of unpaid co-op jobsand contact your advisor.

2. Must be full time

The job must be full time which means 35-40 hours per week of employment.

3. Work term length must be 16 weeks

The job length must be for the full 16 week length of the work term.  However, in rare circumstances (e.g., in cases where you start the job late due to difficulty in finding employment), the job length can be reduced to no less than 12 weeks. 

Proposed work terms under 16 weeks are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

4. Supervisor must not be related to you

You may not work under the direct supervision of a family member (you can work for a family business as long as your supervisor is not a family member).

5. Must be related to your field of study

The job should be related to your field defined by your program of study. 

Credit worthiness is determined by whether the job meets a minimum number of industry-based attributes. For example, Engineering defines these attributes as per the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) guidelines and says students must meet four of the attributes. For more information, please view theaccreditation criteria for Engineering co-op jobs (PDF). 

Contact your advisor in Co-operative Education if you are unsure if the job opportunity would be related to your field of study.

每个学期COOP 日程安排大概都是这样

https://uwaterloo.ca/co-operative-education/important-dates

开学2周后，招工公司开始在 jobmine 里公布职位，

然后开始面试，这期间会有期中考试，所以学生既要面试，又要学习准备考试，挺紧张的。

大概一个多月后，第一轮招工 MATCH, 结束。然后开始第二轮招工。如果第二轮还没找到工作，就会被学校分配，学校分配大概是这样的流程：有一堆没找到工作的同学，学校看看那些公司有没有再愿意要的，多半没有。然后就学校里面开始找教授一个一个劝，哎你们要不要人手啊，很便宜啊，我们还给你补助，钱多不了的了。当然也有学霸在学校里面做，2A有20加币/小时，就算很高了。各年级收入请参考这里：

https://uwaterloo.ca/co-operative-education/hourly-earnings-information-jan-dec-2013

在工程里面分配还是看成绩，把平均分刷好点， 期末分配的时候可以去个好一点的老板，

注意：简历要做得漂亮些，LaTeX可以把layout做得很好看，可以直接在网页上编辑的。

像这个学期的日程安排：

5月17到21日，招工公司开始在 jobmine 里公布职位，

5月26到6月19日，面试

6月21到23，第一轮招工 MATCH, 结束。

6月25日，第二轮招工开始。

第二轮招工：

面试完，企业很快给结果，只有一个公司给了offer , 你match 上了，就必须去，如果同时有几个offer 或者 ranking , 你可以选择。通常必需在不到一天的时间就是在jobmine上做决定。找到了就不让再找了，好处是不用再投简历再面试，缺点是有的后悔工作不是太满意，最想去的因为安排面试的时间晚了，连面试的机会都没有。本来第二轮就是捡漏，第一轮可以面试很多家，等到统一时间MATCH，还是很爽的。

一般一年级的孩子都太保守谦虚了，不要只找初级的，中级的或更高的只要沾边的都申请，简历写的要更大胆些。不能太谦虚，一年级的孩子都是和高年级在竞争呢，先争取到面试的机会，其实进了公司高年级的和低年级的都做着同样level的工作。

滑铁卢大学官网公布的平均实习工资，至少统计加拿大工作的，不包括美国google, apple 等大公司的。===========

========

第一轮 MATCH, 没有offer, 只有ranking,  或者 只有一个 offer ,  就无法选, 匹配上了，必须去。如果毁约，会被踢出 JOBMINE 。几个offer在手里   可以择优。所以根本不想去的公司，一开始就不要报！！！这也是学校跟公司的合同，要有信用， 规则就是这样，都要遵守。
