<p>I am currently a gatech coop student. I have a question regarding the difficulty in finding a coop, intern or full time job. Anyone know which is the most difficult? Or rank those three in order?</p>
<p>Do you mean finding a company to which you can apply or actually getting through the interview?</p>
<p>All three are easy to find through career services as long as your GPA is decent (>3.0). Co-ops are probably a little easier since the co-op office helps set up the interviews for you.</p>
<p>As far as actual interviews, co-op and intern interviews are the same, though they expect more in an interview from juniors than from freshman. Full-time interviews are more difficult than internship/co-op because they want more from you. For example, if a company asks for a time you’ve solved a difficult problem, it’s acceptable to talk about a social situation if you’re a freshman intern interviewee. As a junior intern interviewee, that’s probably not the best approach and you should talk about a previous internship, part-time job or a class project. For a full-time interview, they want something more substantial, such as an internship experience or senior design project.</p>
<p>That said, even though the interviews get more difficult, your experiences get richer as you move through college, so it’s not really too much to expect.</p>
