Co-op help

Risking the obvious, realize that the whole perpose of COOP or Internship is to gain experience starting out with nothing.

Steve, when I was an undergraduate student at Drexel University, the college arranged ALL of the COOP assignments, not always a good thing. Still, I would strongly suggest you to contact the appropriate office in your college or university, since they no doubt have far better contacts available to them than do you.

Another hint would be to check with your university's alumni office (they're the guys that hit us quarterly for a financial contribution). Learn which firms have alumni from your school in key executive positions. Start your search with these firms, since you'll likely have an edge on the competition from other schools.
