<p>I’ve been looking at a lot of business schools lately, and I’ve heard that Northeastern University’s co-op is what makes its business thrive. I’ve always wanted to do business in sports (or anything involving sports, since i love sports), and I know that Northeastern University is walking distance from Fenway Park. That being said, how easy/difficult is it for someone to get a co-op/internship for the Red Sox?</p>
<p>Don’t know how easy it is, but one of the stories we were told by the NEU co-op folks was about co-oping with the Red Sox. Specifically—when they won the World Series all the co-op kids got rings which I thought was very cool!</p>
<p>there are definitely co-ops with the red sox and bruins depending on what you want to do. I applied to an accounting co-op with the Red Sox, but they took so long to interview people that I had already accepted another job. There are also co-ops i saw in New York City with MLS. So definitely some opportunities. </p>
<p>I’ve heard the Red Sox co-ops are amazing though. The only bad thing about them is that they are some of the lowest paying jobs.</p>
<p>It’s kind of hard to get them… Like, obviously, they are popular and popular jobs tend to have more competition. But I have also heard what was said above- that they slack on interviews and stuff. The business school starts co-op searching and recruiting VERY early compared to the other colleges- I know several people who had spring business co-ops by the second week of September, meanwhile most colleges don’t even allow students to see the jobs before October. So non-corporate jobs tend to be slacking a bit and go later on in the cycle. Sometimes it comes down to how badly you want a particular job and how big a chance you think you have of getting it.</p>
