”employers know the difference between the bird courses and the ones with real meat on the bones.”
I’ve never been asked my GPA or what courses I took. Most of my interviews have been focused on my professional experience (internships, full time work, programming projects, etc.)
- ghaff 6y agoGPA (and major of course) can matter right out of school. It's hard for me to imagine in most circumstances though someone scouring a transcript, if they even ask for one, to see if someone took some easier classes as electives.
- leetcrew 6y agono one is going to bother looking at a transcript, but fresh graduates should definitely list any challenging/relevant electives they took on their resume (and be prepared to answer some basic questions). if you don't list anything challenging that wasn't a core requirement, it kinda implies you took the softball approach.
- criddell 6y agoYeah, GPA might matter for your first job, but it won't for the second.
- analog31 6y agoIndeed it's pretty rare. I've only seen GPA's when someone offers them or brings their transcript to an interview. I've heard that Epic Systems has a hard GPA threshold for their programming jobs.
