Having attended a university that was coop-based, I've had this discussion (or did when it was more relevant) and the key truly is "a well written resume" (plenty of coop positions come and go so...)

Often I would have conversations with people about resumes where they had problems and those problems would be things like: * How long is your resume...? (way too long, often) * Can you drop/compress any positions? (keep recent/relevant) * Instead of "Employment", can you say "Coop Experience"? for the section? * etc.

(thought questions, not asking for responses). I do agree, you definitely have to make the "coop" part super obvious otherwise you won't make it past initial filters.
