Can I get a job after college if I have less than a 3.0 GPA?

majoring in:
Business Administration and Management;
Psychology;
Elementary Education;
Biology;
Nursing;
Education;
English;
Communications;
Computer Science;
Political Science;
etc.

What did you major in?

Probably not, if you are trying to major in that many things, it would show me at resume review time that you have a very short attention span. You will be a "Jack of all trades and master of none". I would not even grant an interview to a person with all that on a resume. But be careful - if you lie on your resume (omission is a lie) you likely will get fired.

Make that Jack into the three of clubs.

Absolutely.

yah

I hope so!

Sure, but you might get a better job with a better GPA.

Of course you can. Performance in College doesn't equate necessarily with job performance. Sometimes people who don't have a stellar track record in school tend to work harder. You just need to learn about your area of interest, make a decision to work as hard as you can at it, and give it your best! No one can fault you for trying as hard as you can. Remember most of the great thinkers were "average" in school, but came into their own later on.

Best of luck!

of course

no duh

You're taking those courses but not majoring in ALL of them. But no matter, you can obtain employment.

Yes, they don't care so much about your GPA. Just that you're able to do what they want you to do. Go there and prove yourself to them. My major is Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences. But you will be able to get a job without a doubt.

GPA should not be the deciding factor for whether someone is offered employment. Can it be a factor? Yes. My point is that it should only be taken into account if you are looking for a differentiator between two equal candidates.

Keep in mind, it isn't necessary to include it on your resume. If you have to fill out a job application it may ask for it, but even then very few employers will take the time to research it.

I would suggest offsetting your GPA with knowledge about the company you are applying for, good interviewing skills, and a positive, energetic attitude. See your college career center for interview techniques.

Good luck!

Relax!!

When I was in a position to recommend new hires, I was far more interested in whether or not they could be trained. The one thing I was absolutely certain of was a 2.75 worked to get there. A 4.0 could have cruised through and 0.13 never made it to my desk.

I got where I was with a 2.76 and no degree.

sure--- there is a huge nursing shortage and anything health related is a hot job market.

You'd be surprised how few people will care about your GPA after college. Before long they won't even care what your major is (in most jobs; if you plan to be a teacher or something they will). For the most part, they'll only look at your GPA/transcript for your very first job out of college just because they don't have much else to consider. Also, the more academic your field the more likely an employer will be to care about your GPA after college.

If it's not too late, try to rack up some work experience and other resume builders with an internship.

If it's any consolation, President Bush had less than a 3.0 at Yale and seemed to do ok for himself (see link below). I've also heard the same of Bill Gates, though I can't find any links to prove or disprove that.

A GPA usually doesn't mean anything to an employer (how would they know what your GPA is?) Employers don't go looking at your transcripts. A GPA is usually only important if you're continuing your education.

go into what you like first of all. Secondly you can get a job maybe not as fast as someone else and maybe not as much as they start out with but it is possible. Once you get experience in your field your GPA won't matter. However if you want to get your masters or go to med school or something you will need at least a 3.0
