TRSM alumni love helping students and fellow graduates. So what’s one question you have for someone who’s done what’s ahead of you?
Hi, I’m Daniel Osei, a second-year student in Ted Rogers’ BCom in Accounting and Finance, graduating in 2027.
I’m about to start applying for co-op placements and I’m not sure how much to prioritize big firms versus smaller ones for my first work term. How did you approach choosing your first co-op, and what made it worthwhile?
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice with me!
Hello, I’m Camille Beaudry, a 2024 graduate of Ted Rogers’ BCom in Law and Business.
I’m weighing whether to go straight into law school or gain a few years of business experience first. How did you approach that decision in your own career, and what ended up mattering most in hindsight?
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wisdom and experience with me!
Hello, I’m Grace Nakamura, a second-year student in Ted Rogers’ BCom in Retail Management, graduating in 2027.
I’d love to know how you actually found your first co-op opportunity — through the school’s job board, networking, or something else entirely? Any tips on standing out as a first-time applicant would mean a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice with me!
It’s easy as 1, 2, 3
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you're looking for (5 minutes).
We find and share your question with the best alumni in our entire community.
Responses get delivered right into your email inbox (2-3 days).
Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and friends that can help with class projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.
Think of something you’re genuinely stuck on: a decision, a path, a role you can’t quite picture. One specific question gets a better answer than a broad one.
We will only share your question with a very small number of relevant Alumni.
Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
It has never been simpler to get help from others that have done what’s ahead of you.
