Man, that resume blurb from Deacman is unsettling as fuck.

I was guessing that's a resume that lets you be a teacher in eastern Europe.

I fucked it up at Wake by going for easy classes instead of good classes

It's funny, I knew a lot of people who felt the opposite immediately after school when their GPA was killing them on the job market

I'd guess that GPA matters more in academia than most fields. Never once been asked my GPA for a job.

I do not work in academia. GPA has been a topic in nearly every interview I can remember.

 

[BarcaDeac]

yep it's never come up for me

I have to admit something happened to me in coed softball league that NEVER happened in the hundreds of league games I played in my life. I was playing LF. An easy fly ball was hit to deeper left-center. As ranged over to catch it, all the sprinklers on the field went off. Figuring I was going to get wet anyway, I plowed through the rain and caught it.

RJ never caught a ball before then? why was he in left field

Well I just found a typo on a cover letter that I have been sending out for the last months. That is just gonna go ruin my day.

Industry differences aside, a solid GPA doesn't hurt during resume filtering or candidate comparison. An undisclosed GPA may go unnoticed, but there are hiring managers/committees that pay attention to that, especially for entry-level/first-job-out-of-college situations.

What kind of typo? Hopefully it's closer to using the wrong homonym versus forgetting to change the name of the employer.

Damn these slow assboards.

which has allowed me the opportunity to work first hand on many of the issues I will faces as an associate.

[dartsndeacs]

GPA hurt me right out of school, but never came up again.

yeah, it's crazy to me that a grown-ass man (in age only) like GTB would have to talk about his GPA.
