How much does GPA matter?
Posted Monday, August 18 2008 by The JobsBloggers
Dear Jobsblog: I'm a college student heading into my last semester, and my GPA is good but not great. How much does my GPA matter? Can it keep me from getting a job? I worked on outside projects, will that help?
Answer: This is a popular question, so you're not alone in worrying about your grade point average! Janelle has written two great posts on this topic in the past, Living with a recent college grad: Your GPA and you and Should your GPA prevent you from getting your next job?. Check them out and don't skip the comment sections! Both posts have substantial back-and-forth about GPA in the comment threads that's really worth reading.
Good luck in your last semester!

Hi!
I have contacted one of your recruiters in the past. But then I decided not to contact you again until I was closer to graduation in my CIS program at Devry University. It is finally probably coming this next March of 2009. My grades are pretty good so far. What are the prospects for a person like me who shows special strengths in Project Management, Systems Analysis, and Computer Security?
