Hi everyone,

 Just before I write the rest of this, I'm sorry if this is not appropriate
[AD] material. Going by some of the other posts that involve companies looking
for Engineers, it seems appropriate, but I'm not sure. This is more a case of
an Engineer looking for a company :-)

 Anyway, I am currently attending the University of Waterloo in Canada, and am
in their co-op program for Computer Engineering. I will be returning to study
this summer for 4 months, and will be going through the co-op process to find a
job in September. Unfortunately, as a lot of you may know, the market is
horrible right now, especially here in Ontario. The last place companies seem
to be looking now are for co-op students, even from Universities who offer
quite reputable Engineers (Waterloo).

 Although I will be going through the co-op process, I thought I would give the
list a try to see if anyone in the Ontario region (preferrably) is willing to
hire a co-op student.. or if they know anyone who does. I won't bother the list
with boring details to sell myself, but if anyone would like more information
about me, please email me offlist.

 Just as a last word, I don't understand why co-op students aren't sought out
more. Generally, we offer very cheap labor (relatively), and are capable of
learning very quickly. While it's true that the first few weeks/months are
usually 'wasted' from a companies perspective, training the student that is,
the student can become a valuable resource to the company in the future. Maybe
there is more to it, I obviously haven't seen the whole world yet, but these
are the points that stick out the most to me.


Thank you, and I apologize again if this is inappropriate.

Jai
