(Not) 73 Questions With CSC
📖 Inspired by the iconic 73 Questions Interview videos from Vogue, CSC filmed the (Not) 73 Questions with CSC and posted them on the CSC Instagram. From “When was the last time you cried” to solving math equations, interviewees were asked a series of fun, rapid-fire questions about their student life!
👀 The executives that took on the hot seat were VP Eric Huang and President Juthika Hoque, but be sure to stay tuned to watch a professor take on the challenge!
📣 The first two interviews are still accessible on the CSC Instagram feed, so be sure to watch them and follow along in the (Not) 73 Questions series!

Bootcamp
📣 The Spring 2022 Bootcamp Event has looked for mentors to take on resume critiques, host mock interviews, and help prepare students for their co-op search! This was an awesome opportunity for anyone to give back to the Waterloo community and make an impact on a student’s co-op search.
📅 A resume review event happened on May 14th from 6:00pm-10:00 PM EST and a mock interview event on May 21st from 6:00pm-10:00 PM EST.
ℹ️ People had the opportunity choose to participate at either event for a select number of hours!
❗️All sessions took place virtually on our Bootcamp Discord Server! Students had a chance to meet with mentors 1 on 1 to discuss their resumes/conduct their interviews.
