Previous Experience
My first co-op was at Blackberry, as a technical editor, in Waterloo. While I valued my time and experience there, I wasn't excited by the work I did and it was hard to stay engaged working there. I also knew that for my next co-op, I wanted to work near home so I wouldn't have to move away.
I also worked part-time at the SFSS as a communications assistant. Surprisingly, I got the most relevant experience for my current role here. As the communications assistant, I worked with the constituency groups, clubs, and student groups which were all very different from each other, becoming familiar with them as part of my job was helpful.
