Case Study
Meet Wilson

13. Case Study: Meet Wilson,
a new Graduate with no Experience
Wilson’s Challenges
O Problem: Wilson was a new undergrad in accounting with no work experience. After 3
months of job hunting on his own, sending numerous resumes and cover letters, he had
little success hearing back… until he worked with Stan from Co-op Your Way…
Results after 3 months with CYW
 Increased number of
interview offers
 Comfort and agility
in interviews
 Received a job offer
in his field!
How Co-op Your Way helped Wilson
Lack of work experience
O Wilson understood the skillsets relevant to
accounting, and uncovered experiences to
showcase to potential employers
Uncomfortable with interviews
Little response from employers
Job search fatigue,
discouragement
Managing priorities
O With the help of CYW, Wilson reimagined his resume
and cover letter that recruiters appreciated!
O After the CYW interview prep, Wilson knew what to
expect and how to excel in interviews
O CYW provided broader perspectives on job search,
and encouragement to succeed in his field
O CYW kept Wilson on track, and helped him manage
other priorities distracting Wilson from job searching
