Ask HN: Potential internship recruiter asked for my transcript

• dalke 12y ago
  Give it them a copy if you want? Talk to your campus organization which has experience with sort of thing if you want actual helpful feedback, instead of random comments from people like me? For example, from http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/recruiting/pennlink_faqs.php http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/recruiting/pennlink... : > How do I know if an employer wants a cover letter or a transcript? > A resume will always be required, and sometimes employers will also require other documents such as cover letters and unofficial transcripts. You must submit all the required documents when you apply. (You will know that a document is required because there will be a red asterisk next to the box. If not required, there will be no asterisk.) If employers simply "request" additional documents, you may choose to submit the additional materials if you wish. Some employers will only accept resumes and do not want to receive additional materials, in which case you will not be able to submit them. Read this section carefully, as occasionally employers will provide additional application information in the space. Your history shows an average of 1 link/AskHN posting every 5 days for the last year. The questions are very broad, and would take too much effort to provide a good response. The lack of any comments to them over the year might be meaningful. It would likely be better to find a local group of Linux/GNU/Mobile/whatever developers, attend meetings, and ask questions face-to-face. Socialization may also help what appears to be, in reviewing your general comments, a mild case of ego centrism.
