Here’s how Rank and Offer works:

Receiving a job offer

When an employer has indicated you are their top candidate during a job search, you will receive an email notifying you to log in to myCareer to either accept or deny your job offer. Offers are time-sensitive, so be sure to check your emails daily and login immediately after getting email notification of an offer.

If you do not accept the job by the deadline your offer will expire and it will be offered to another student.

Once a job has been accepted your Work Term Record information will automatically be updated and you will be removed from the rest of the job competition.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at askcoop@dal.ca, or contact your Student Development Coordinator directly.
