Importance of GPA differs with careers
By Melanie Gaball March 6th, 2013 Section: News
As students and post graduates begin constructing their resumes, the importance of
a grade point average (GPA) may differ depending on the position,
but the general consensus is while work experience is more important,
a good GPA doesn’t hurt one’s chances of landing a job in a competitive labor market.
According to Sharis Amirian, a peer mentor for the CSUN Career Center and a graduate student in college counseling and student services,
the importance of GPA depends on the employer.
“If you are applying for a job in biochemistry and your major was biochemistry,
they are probably going to ask for your GPA,” Armirian said.
“If your major is similar to the job you are applying to, it might be more important to include it.”
“Generally, we don’t advise students to include their GPA on their resumes unless its really good,”
she added. “But if your GPA is on your resume, be ready to talk about it.”
According to Judy Lam, graduate intern for the Career Center, some employers and
even internships require GPA in order to apply for positions,
and those with lower GPA’s may have an issue.
“If they have a low GPA, they should probably explain in their cover letter
why they had a lower GPA and why they should still be a good candidate for the job,” Lam said.
