I'm assuming you sent in some kind of paperwork before walking up and interviewing - did that perhaps include a resume with a GPA on it?

- shiftpgdn 12y agoAre you seriously putting your GPA on your resume?
- jacalata 12y agoPersonally no, but I did when graduating college. I mostly found it ridiculous to pretend that if something didn't come up in the interview, it didn't come up in the hiring process at all, as though Microsoft practices the kind of open audition that my local bar ran last week.
- MichaelGG 12y agoNo. I dropped out of school at 15.
- bborud 12y agoWhen I was asked to send my resume to Google I fired up Emacs, wrote one page of previous positions and what I worked on there, and one page on what my interests are. Both professional and spare time interests. I spent about 15 minutes writing that resume, read through it once and then emailed it to Alan Eustace. I don't remember if I even mentioned which university I had attended and whether or not I had finished a degree. Nor did I make a single mention of what programming languages I know or any of the tedious stuff people tend to use for bulking up their CV. (I was told that Jeff Dean, who was one of my interviewers, said that he couldn't wait to meet someone who writes software, races cars, welds and has just finished a course in logging timber using an good old-fashioned chainsaw)
