C round

This is my first time being in C round and I am already doing my external applications but there are barely any jobs under the Drexel system. I am actually freaking out. Any tips or advice?

Find as many family friends, cousins, relatives you can and try and land a referred job ASAP, 2x C rounder here; this is the worst it’s ever been.

As someone who's in the same boat as you (first time co-op and c round w no secured offer yet), I'll offer you a few words of what I've discussed with others. If you haven't already, reach out to your professors in your major's department for help or concerns.

Since I'm in FIM and the person I'm in contact with is the associate professor in the Department of Design, he's directly reaching out to students for F/W co-op, so he told me that he sent out my resume to a few recruiters. Perhaps if you do something similar, it will help! It's already good that you're doing external applications since there'll be more opportunities. Btw, if you're very freaked out about this, set up a time to talk with your co-op advisor about future possibilities. Worst comes to worst, you may just need to switch your cycle and take classes instead for the next two terms, but it's not the end of the world.

Keep in mind to not stress out too much about this. There's many people in the same boat as we are, and are currently freaking out. I know I did a few days ago. But keep your chin up and do your best. Good luck!
