Coop Job Applications

So far this semester I have been very busy applying to jobs for coop, which I plan to start this summer. Mainly I have been busy writing my resume and cover letters, and having these revised multiple times by the friendly coop coordinators at SFU. I just completed and submitted my applications to RIM, EA, and DemonWare a few days ago, and plan to apply for Amazon, Google, and Apple next week.

The application for RIM was particularly challenging, because not only did I need to submit my application through the SFU website, I also had to fill out an application on the RIM website. This was a very involved task. I was required to set up an account, fill out a very detailed profile about my education, interests, skills, etc., and once that was finished, I had to fill out all the information a second time when applying to the specific job of interest.

I hope that the next few applications won't be as involved as the one for RIM. Soon I will be doing interviews as well, so things will continue to be busy for me for a while, but I hope that once it's all over I will have more time for blogging.

Introduction

This is the first blog I have ever written, and so naturally as of the time of this posting I have precisely zero fans on the Internet. As such I felt it would be appropriate to first introduce myself to the world.


My name is Andrew Inwood, I am in my early 20s, have blond hair, blue eyes, and wear glasses. I currently live in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, and attend Simon Fraser University where I am studying Computer Science. This blog is called Science Nerd Stuff because Science Nerd is the class of person which I feel I most closely resemble. This is because I spent four years obtaining a B.Sc in Physics, also taking many courses in Mathematics, and after deciding I did not want to do Physics research for the rest of my life, began a second B.Sc program in Computer Science.


As a science nerd, I enjoy learning sciency things, doing logic puzzles, and programming puzzles. For fun I like to play games with friends such as strategy boardgames, bowling, pool, badminton, cardgames, videogames, etc. The posts that will appear in this blog in the future will likely have to do with the topics stated above, or otherwise will at least be told from the perspective of a science nerd.
