A self directed job search goes beyond waiting for and applying for positions through CIMS. As is the case with the broader job market, accessing the hidden job market is critical to your success. You are expected to immediately use the skills and information being developed and discussed in your WEP program by taking such actions as: making contacts through your own network; researching companies in your area of interest; setting up and conducting informational interviews; and applying for positions external to CIMS. How can the Co-op Program and staff support you in these aspects of an effective and self directed job search?

I would like them to direct me to the best work positions I can have here in Canada.
