Question for other college students

I was told not to put GPA on my resumes also...

 

I knew a guy who worked at Raytheon and was asking the hiring department why they chose a person with a "B/C" average over 4.0 students. He said, chances are the person who has a B or a C average will be very greatful he/she got the job. Those people can be very trainable. In contrast, many 4.0 students feel too entitled or that certain work is beneath them.

 

Hmm...makes sense to me.

 

x2

If i were an employer i wouldn't want to hire people who just wanted a job. I'd rather hire those who want a job and actually want to be there doing the work.

 

meh, ive got a job lined up so im not loosing any sleep over it. i mean im trying to learn as much as i can, but what my GPA ends up being is not as important to me as gaining knowledge to better help my company.

 

As has been said before, it all depends on the job. We don't even interview anyone with less than a 3.5.

 

I had a week of my business class dedicated to resumes from a marketing professional from Hershey, he said only put the GPA accomplishments on there, deans list, etc. only put GPA if it is a 4.0 otherwise he said nobody cares.


Anyway

Senior 3.43 GPA
Business Administration with History and Criminal Justice Minors.

 

I had someone from KBR tell us that as well, they want someone who is human A/B average not 4.0
