Please view your resumé as a PDF in order to view where the page break occurs. Please ensure none of the resumés you submit to job postings exceeds two pages during your time in the Co-op Program. Renaming a Resumé To rename a resumé, click on the Rename Resumé option below the resumé name, then change the name in the text box (“Resumé Naming Tips” on page 37). Applying for Jobs in ECO The overall process to apply for jobs through ECO is: ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ Log in to ECO and view job descriptions by clicking on ‘Jobs’, then ‘View Jobs’. Create a job-specific cover letter for the position you wish to apply for (using MS Word or another word processing program). Access the job application function by clicking on ‘Apply to Job’ in the job description. Select the resumé you want to attach to the application (if you have more than one saved in ECO). Select your availability for the job (four months, eight
UBC ENGINEERING CO-OP STUDENT HANDBOOK 39 ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ months, etc.). Click ‘Continue’ and paste the cover letter you created into the appropriate text box. Preview and proof-read your cover letter. Click ‘Continue’ to electronically submit your application. View Job Descriptions To view job descriptions for a particular work term, click ‘Jobs’ on the menu bar. You will be sent to the View Job Descriptions page containing two submenu items: View Jobs and Search Jobs. To view all job descriptions for your discipline, click the ‘View Jobs’ button. You can view job descriptions in the present work term as well as past and future work terms by setting the term(s) at the top of the page. ECO will default to the current job search term. The View Jobs page is separated into three categories: 1. New and updated jobs shows postings that have been added or updated recently. 2. Open jobs shows postings that are still open to applications but are not new or updated. 3. Closed jobs shows postings that are closed to applications. Each of these sections presents information about each job, allows you to select the job (via check box), and shows if you have the job flagged for interest. To view more specific details about the jobs (such as location, qualifications, special requirements and work term length), you can click on the Company, Job Code and/or Job Title hyperlinks, which will take you to the detailed job description. If you are eligible to apply for the position, an ‘Apply To Job’ button will appear at the bottom of the page. To apply for a posted job description, click this button. If you are not eligible to apply to the job, the ‘Apply To Job’ button will be replaced by text indicating the reason(s) you are ineligible. If you are expecting to be eligible for positions but find that you cannot apply, please contact your Co-op Coordinator. Submitting an Application The job description overview will indicate which application method is required for the job. You will be asked to submit your application either via ECO (electronically), online directly to the employer’s website and/or as a hard copy to the Engineering Coop office. Apply Electronically To apply electronically to a job through ECO, click on ‘Apply To Job’ within a job description and you will be sent to the new application page. You will then: ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ Select a resumé to attach to the application. You must select your Work Term Preferences at this stage in the application process. With this setting, you are committing to the employer what length of work term you are available for – four months, eight months, four or eight months, or greater than eight months. Generally, time frames greater than eight months should only be used if the posting indicates 12 or 16 month preferences. After you have confirmed your selections, click the ‘Continue’ button. You will be sent to the web page where you can insert your cover letter. Your UBC transcript will automatically be attached to your electronic application. Once you have submitted your application electronically, you may edit it in ECO any time prior to the closing date. Apply Online to Employer’s Site Some employers prefer that co-op students apply directly through their own job application interfaces on their company website, if this occurs the instructions will be included under Application Instructions. If the job posting closing information indicated on the company’s website is different from the information posted on ECO, the company’s information should be taken to be the most accurate. Please click on ‘Applied directly to Employer’s site’ in ECO so the Co-op Program has a record of your application. Paper Applications Occasionally, employers prefer paper applications; in these cases, we will collect applications for these jobs at our offices (in Vancouver and in Kelowna). Please read the application instructions carefully for information on what must be included
