From a Current Co-op Student: As one of the three Talent Acquisition co-ops, my day is always packed with different daily tasks such as scheduling interviews and meeting candidates, and long-term projects like creating a flyer for Goodwin's co-op recruitment. As a TA co-op, you are in charge of ensuring an excellent candidate experience for all of the open positions on the Global Operations team. My favorite parts of my co-op experience have been the collaborative work environment and how close I have become with my team. In addition to my daily work, a project I have worked on so far is with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team where I’ve been able to work on projects that ensure that our staff feel supported and represented. It is clear that Goodwin has taken the time to invest in me. Since my first day, my manager has prioritized regular feedback, professional development, networking, and mentorship. Ultimately, Goodwin cares about cultivating exceptional talent, and this is one of the many reasons why you should apply to Goodwin today!
