Wait...were you at e7 2-3 days ago with some footlocker bags in hand? I think I saw you
LOL yeah that was me
Great video bro! Awesome opinions. You kept it real. Loved that.
You’re welcome!
Hey Justin, keep up the good content ❤ 2 Quick questions for you - I’ve seen most co-op students use 2pg resume here in Canada to get more keywords maybe. So what’s your thoughts on this based on your experience? and Should I include an section called Additional Experience which includes my experience in canadian on-campus part-time job and a experience as co-founder demonstrating leadership. Thanks!
Just use one page and only have an experience section. Two pages is too much.
I wonder where he works

Good work on your channel 😀
thanks
what camera do u use?
the sony n3x
fire vid keep it up
thank you!

yooooo wassup arnab
I think uoft is much better. Waterloo is overrated. I would never go there. I don't think you are correct
nerd
Hey Justin. Feel free to decline, but can you share how much you're making this co-op term? Or at least a range. Great vid btw.
Above average for the UWaterloo co-op salaries listed on the website.
makin’ me excited for uw for reallll
great to hear!!!
yuh
yuhhhhhhhhh
Another great vid. I've been watching your videos as a current sophomore in high school, and I was wondering if you have any advice for Canadians who are residing in the US. I'm probably gonna apply to Waterloo as a 2nd choice to schools in the US, but I was wondering if you had any advice for me.
Definitely try to get into the universities in the states, but i have a lot of friends from the states in UW and they seem to be enjoying their time here.
Fire Vid 🔥, BTW you don't got a mouse pad?
nahhh sadly not
brother is looking big
appreciate it 😎
glad to see the TTC is chaotic as always
plz help fix it 🥲
pre much my day atp 😥
minus the gf
but with the super.com compensation 👀
@@TrollermanerLMAO WILLIAM 😭

Brotherman what sleep mask is that?
it’s an rbc one that i got from hack the north
@@jlau04 ay i have the same one!
Skipping class to watch. So slay!!!
go study
Is the waterloo co-op term depressing? I'm going into CE at UW this fall and I'm so scared, it seems low-key depressing.
😭 bro i thought this was fun
@@jlau04 that’s good to hear. Everyone tells me it’s depressing but I’m kinda exited :D
Nah you’ll be fine
not depressing... its a good break from studies (my CE 1st coop this winter was chill)
Get this guy some more sponsorships his content is tooo good
Thank you, appreciate it 😎
fr fr
so inspirational!
YESSSSSS JUSTIIIINNNNN
omg u made my choice even harder 😭 i wanna go tron queens from the social life and campus but tron waterloo has good co op, which one should i sacrifice?...
I’d go Waterloo tron tbh, you can find a social life here if you want to
Being honest, I am so scared of going to Waterloo, I feel like i am not smart enough as other people with super high averages, but thank u so much for the info!
We all felt like that going in, and it’s okay. It’s just called imposter syndrome. You’ll be fine, you got this 🙏
honestly same, but if we all feel like that it must be false right? Maybe we are all just scared
@@adaloveless1824 I feel that way too but when I see my classmates they seem far ahead of me 😅, actually, about the imposter syndrome, I was thinking of going to Queens tron, really feel like the community vibe was more like my thing, but we will see...
Same
Hey, I recently got into CE and I'm kind of in a dilemma with picking between it and UTSG CS. Based on your experience, how has CE been, would you recommend it? How difficult was finding your first coop, and do you have any tips on what I should do to prepare for first year if I do attend? Thanks, and great video!
UW CE > UTSG CS. First co op was difficult. I’d recommend doing like cs studying like programming in C++. Do internships for free for startups as well.
@@jlau04 Thanks! Also, how do you feel about all the hardware courses you have to take? Do you enjoy them, and do you have time to work on side projects on top of the heavy course load?
Side projects kinda tough to find time and the hardware courses were aight but it’s just personal preference tbh
UoW is overrated, and there are lots of other universities that offer a lot more to their customers/students. Just listen to Dr. Peterson to get a true understanding of Canadian universities.
If you’re looking for just an education yes. But i’d say the co-op program definitely makes it very valuable compared to other universities. That in itself is a piece of education you can’t just get from getting a normal university education.
UofT 2nd year ECE here, all of this advice legit applies to UofT too, crazy how much overlap there is. If anyone is watching this as a highschooler and considering UofT or Waterloo (choose UofT, its better, but I'm biased ;) ) but really the law of diminishing returns thing is huge: especially when it comes to studying! You will spend double the effort increasing your grade from 70 to 80 as you will 80 to 90! Use some of that effort finding friends, going out, just have fun. (Especially second year ECE at UofT, absolute menace)
May I ask what you think validated your choice to study ECE at UofT? I’m currently trying to decide between UofT engsci and Waterloo mechatronics eng (leaning towards engsci tho, I might even just transfer to ECE second yr :) Thanks
ottawa has the largest tech park in Canada, there are a lot of start ups and government jobs
awesome
yo can I get into UW computer engineering with an 85 average????☠☠☠
gg ☠️
Goated Justin you saved me from unemployment‼
GOTCHU
Hey Justin. From your earlier videos, I thought you were in Computer Engineering. Did you transition to Software Engineering? If so, why?
I’m in computer engineering still 🙂
Your suggestions are remarkably precise and very impressive.
Very much appreciated Mrs. Liu! 🙏
would you say that the skills section of the resume is not that helpful since all you're doing is listing skills and not proving or showing the recruiter how you u have or developed those skills? would it be okay if the skills section was completely omitted out of the resume? is the skills section only useful if you are actually proficient in a specific programming language or software? and why would the skills section go above experience, projects, and awards? sorry for bombarding you with questions lol these are just some thoughts i had. also i rlly enjoy watching your videos they r super entertaining and helpful!
No worries for asking all of these questions! The skills section is in my opinion a must have because recruiters just look for key words for technologies that a candidate might know, and it makes it easy to see if you’re familiar with their tech stack. That’s why you should put it at the very top cause it’s essentially a summary of the core technical skills that you know before they get into the details of what you actually did with those skills. Thanks for watching!
This video is so essential for future applicants. Will 100% use this to recommend to people.
100%, it’s applicable for other industries as well :D

Hey Justin new subscriber here. Please choose, UoT St. George CS OR Waterloo CE Co-Op. Which would u choose and why?
I had the same dilemma. I’d go with Waterloo CE just purely cause of the co op program. Plus you get similar CS fundamental courses and also u can take cs related courses in upper years anyways. UTSG CS is amazing and u can’t go wrong with that either, but I found that UW was more suited for me
@@jlau04 What would you say the likelihood chance is now in 2024, that I would actually land a co op job if I do go Waterloo. Assuming I’m a slightly above average Joe.
Probably a 70% chance. Pretty good chances compared to if u just went to utsg
@@jlau04 Looking back, do you have any regrets about your ultimate decision to attend Waterloo Co op as opposed to UTSG?
no
realistically speaking, do you think a 1st year arch eng student could study part time and keep up with studies?
wdym study part time?
@@jlau04 oh shoot I meant work part time 😭 my brain is fried from finals
oh yeah u could prolly do that
@@jlau04 great thank you so much :)
So true, very abnormal. The university admin should start thinking outside the box in terms of employers.
100%
Interesting to hear the perspective of current students as an old man from the class of 2019. A lot of things you described I can resonate with having felt myself back in the day. Big +1 to finding a solid core group of friends as that's definitely what helped me the most with staying sane through the brutal engineering workload.
100% man!!!! Thanks for watching
What poster is that in the back
It’s from an anime called Your Name
is it hard to find parties and stuff
no
Im in cs at conestoga... Chat am i cooked?
u good
hi Justin, so im in a dilema rn, im deciding between UofT ChemEng and UW ChemEng, do you have any advice on what to chose? Is the social life in UW that bad? And how's your CO-OP going? ppl are daunting me and telling me how could u get an offer from UW and not accept it😭
tbh i’d take the UW offer. But i’m also not too familiar with the chemical engineering field so idk
@@jlau04 Would u pls be so kind to possibly connect me with any chemeng student from UW?
Sorry, I don’t really know anyone in chem eng at waterloo, but you could try looking on Linkedin! Best of luck!
Am currently a yr2 studying electrical electronic engineering in a private uni in nigeria .. i am thinking about switching to waterloo university .but i feel luke i might not be able to cope with you guys
Just come man! You won’t regret it at all
Great video and much more optimistic than the title would suggest (had me worried). About the table you had at 2:29 (for Spring 2024) - what date is that from? For Spring 2023, I saw a table dated March 10 that had 34% for 1B, and another table dated May 15 (also for Spring 2023) where CE was 59% for 1A and 66% for 2A. Your chart is for Spring 2024, but as of what date (to compare with the 2 dates I mentioned in 2023) - like, is 2024 actually worse than 2023?? (which was worse than 2022, which was worse than 2021...). Keep up the vids - very helpful
Yes the market has been getting a lot worse recently, I might make a video on that in the future. But it’s like engineering companies are realizing they can hire less engineers and still make more profits. The different dates indicate like the different cycles. Cycle 1 is March, so that’s where most people should be getting jobs. Usually it’s around 50%+. And by cycle 2 it should be around 80%+. But, unfortunately as stated before, engineering companies have gotten a bit more greedy in terms of profits so they’ve really slashed their hiring and fired a lot of their staff. It’s really unfortunate…
ECE class of 26 here. I think my biggest advice would be to develop a study routine that works for you. Everyone has their preference - I, for example, went to every single lecture hyper focused but did very little after class if I had no issue grasping the concepts. It has worked really well for me (good grades + not spending a ton of time after class), but I cannot recommend this to everyone because it’s not gonna work for everyone. So ultimately I think it’s very important in first year to figure out what works for you, so you struggle less later.
