The 25 Stages of Using WaterlooWorks for the First Time

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waterloo chapter.

Waterloo “Works.” What an ironic name.

 

1. All right, the login page looks a bit like LEARN. Uniform. Classy. Good.

2. Wait, why do I have to “state my intentions”? Don’t they know I have commitment issues? I want to keep all my options open!

3. Fine I’ll say I’m looking for a job. I guess that’s true?

4. Okay now let’s start looking for jobs. Hire Waterloo Co-op? That sounds like a goal of an employer. Oh wait, Jobs / Applications…I think this is it?

5. I miss JobMine.

6. Wait, did I really just say that?

7. Okay, let’s type in California. I want to work on my tan this summer.

8. Wow, look at all these jobs! What city are they in? Better scroll 50 feet to the right to find out!

9. Why is this job title column so wide?

10. Why are there so many columns in general?

11. Do I really care about the “division” column?

12. Okay, let’s see the description.

13. I’m not qualified.

14. How do I get out of here?

15. DANG IT NO! IT took me back to the main search page!

16. Okay, search again.

17. WAIT, NO, I ACCIDENTLY CLICKED APPLY.

18. Shortlist.

19. OMG the column just got so much wider to accommodate the text “remove from shortlist”

20. Where’s my shortlist!

21. Sigh.

22. This is so exhausting.

23. I’ll just travel.

24. But I need money.

25. Shortlist.
