标题: GPA on Resume [打印本页] 作者: atate2007 时间: 2011-10-13 02:00 标题: GPA on Resume
So at what point in your career can you take off your GPA from your resume? Is it >= 5 yrs? I went to a decent school with a mediocre GPA, just wondering when I can get rid of it...作者: Valores 时间: 2011-10-13 02:07
Yeah, that's probably long enough.作者: former 时间: 2011-10-13 02:13
If it's that mediocre why even have it on there?
I had a 3.2 and followed the >3.0 rule when I was fresh out of school. I may take it off now.

If the GPA is good, just leave it on.作者: bleach 时间: 2011-10-13 02:24

I went to a top Engineering school in Computer Science and I too have a mediocre GPA, sucks even more. I never had it on my Resume, I write the college name and my major with large font and rest I fill with "other achievements" in smaller font, like winning a robotics competition, attending seminars, thesis topic, and research paper; so that the guy who looks at it is just lost in collecting information and skip that part without thinking for another moment that there's no GPA in that section.作者: zbird2134 时间: 2011-10-13 02:35
If your GPA is above 3.5 definitely leave it on there. If it's 3.3 to 3.5, that's a judgement call. If it's less than 3.3, I personally would leave it off.作者: tango_gs 时间: 2011-10-13 02:41

When I don't see a GPA on a resume, it's an immediate flag that shouts "it wasn't good". It's not an immediate application killer, but if it was a decent GPA (3.3+) there's no reason to leave it off.作者: cityboy 时间: 2011-10-13 02:47
What if you had a mediocre ugrad GPA 3.1, but better Masters GPA 3.5. Can I put one and leave the other? Leave both, put both? Also when is it time to pull the ol 740 GMAT off the reusme?作者: morebeans 时间: 2011-10-13 02:52
It should not be on a resume if you are approaching 30 and still touting it. The "what have you done for me lately" mentality is much more important.作者: hassan 时间: 2011-10-13 02:58

I don't think you need to list UG gpa if you've done a masters...GMAT score is good, so may as well leave it on作者: former 时间: 2011-10-13 03:04
^ please. I've run into companies that want SAT scores from experienced hire openings ( scores from 10 years ago)
If you got a good score or GPA, just leave it on the resume. There's no downside, and it'll either be neutral or positive for you, so why the heck not?作者: Analyze_This 时间: 2011-10-13 03:09
yeah, lets put a SAT score down that was done 10 years ago man. Really shows a high correlation with being successful.
