New Co-ops

If I were to offer any advice to the incoming co-ops it would be to push yourself to work your hardest. That may not sound like a "fun" thing to tell someone especially with the word work involved but that has been one of the best decisions I have made here. Obviously everyone should push themselves to achieve their best but as a co-op/college student this is a huge advantage. By pushing yourself here at SHM you build a reputation as a hard worker and that is something that at some point will be noticed. This was the same advice I was given from previous co-ops because SHM is so flexible with how hard you need to push yourself. There will always be work to get done and staying ahead of the game opens opportunities for you to work on a project that may change the way you see marketing. If you push yourself to explore all the aspects of marketing sooner or later your work ethic will pay off and this is where the "real world experience" of a co-op comes into play. All in all my best advice is to push yourself because it will pay off when you least expect it.
