"Personal Activities - Educational Activity" question

[Fodrigo]

Hello,

I did a coop course here in Canada and when I am putting this course in the PERSONAL ACTIVITIES it's asking me "Please describe what this person was doing during this period (e.g. job title, position, etc.)"

1. What should I put here? If it's unemployed it's wrong because I also did some part-time jobs during the no coop part of the course and the coop is also a job. So what should I put?

2. Is it ok to overlap the dates with my part-time jobs or is that not necessary to put them because I already filled the dates with my course? (I saw many discordant opinions about it in this forum)

3. Should I do a separate field for my coop job or it's not necessary to talk about it because it's already included in the course? (also saw many contradictory opinions in this forum).
3.a. If yes, should I put this coop job in employment or educational activity?
3.b. Also if yes, should the not coop part be 6 months or 1 year? (The course was one year. 6 months studying, 6 months coop).

4. I did many gigs during my course as well. Many were less than 2 weeks. Should I put them in the Personal Activities section?



Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I did a coop course here in Canada and when I am putting this course in the PERSONAL ACTIVITIES it's asking me "Please describe what this person was doing during this period (e.g. job title, position, etc.)"

1. What should I put here? If it's unemployed it's wrong because I also did some part-time jobs during the no coop part of the course and the coop is also a job. So what should I put? For my coop I put it as employed because that the closest option to it but in the job title I also attached in bold letters UNPAID. As long as you don’t have any gaps you are ok. You can put the course length. It’s always best to put all info but if you can’t remember the part time jobs then what can you do. Just make sure there are no gaps so just put your school for the period you weren’t doing coop

2. Is it ok to overlap the dates with my part-time jobs or is that not necessary to put them because I already filled the dates with my course? (I saw many discordant opinions about it in this forum) you can overlap dates

3. Should I do a separate field for my coop job or it's not necessary to talk about it because it's already included in the course? (also saw many contradictory opinions in this forum). I did a separate field for my coop jobs. On the other hand my friend didn’t. So I’m not sure if it’s a big deal but it’s always best to be sure. Add a new field
3.a. If yes, should I put this coop job in employment or educational activity? You can put employment and if it wasn’t paid put also UNPAID in the title, that’s what I did. Shouldn’t matter since you’re not claiming points.
3.b. Also if yes, should the not coop part be 6 months or 1 year? (The course was one year. 6 months studying, 6 months coop). I can’t answer this part. Maybe put the entire length of the course since the coop was a part of it so 1 year maybe

4. I did many gigs during my course as well. Many were less than 2 weeks. Should I put them in the Personal Activities section? If you can’t remember I think you should leave it, if you can remember then go ahead just don’t leave any gaps.

I hope this helps.



Thanks in advance,
