I took my GPA off my resume as soon as I graduated, since it lost me so many interviews prior to that. I literally had recruiters at job fairs (which had not listed a minimum GPA in the requirements) hand me my resume back and say I should save this copy for a company that will call me back. About a month after I graduated, I interviewed with a company (white board and actual coding); it went well, we were talking when I could start and salary range. Then someone from HR showed up with forms to fill out: "Are you from industry or straight out of school?" "School" "Okay we'll need your GPA" As soon as I told them my GPA, the interview tone changed and I never heard from them again. At the company I did get hired at, they said they normally ask for GPA and it was an oversight in my case. They would not have flown me out for an interview had they known what it was. Also, while on this topic the recruiters at CAT are incredibly rude about this; I didn't even go to their table at the job fair since they did list a 3.5 minimum GPA. However, I overheard them yelling at someone with a 3.4 GPA for wasting everybody's time for daring to show up with something below the minimum requirements (as if other companies don't use the "minimum requirements" as a "wish list" field).
