Some people just don't get it...
Quote:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 -- the full cost of her tuition and then some -- because she cannot find a job.
|
Quote:
Her complaint adds, "The office of career advancement information technology counselor did not make sure their Monroe e-recruiting clients call their graduates that recently finished college for an interview to get a job placement. They have not tried hard enough to help me."
She suggested that Monroe's Office of Career Advancement shows preferential treatment to students with excellent grades. "They favor more toward students that got a 4.0. They help them more out with the job placement," she said.

As Thompson sees it, any reasonable employer would pounce on an applicant with her academic credentials, which include a 2.7 grade-point average and a solid attendance record. But Monroe's career-services department has put forth insufficient effort to help her secure employment, she claims.

Hahahahaha

Do people really use their university/college "attendance record" as a selling point to employers?!? If I saw a resume boasting a 2.7 GPA and "solid attendance", I'd probably throw it out.

This is what is wrong with a majority of people. They can not help themselves to better themselves and need to act like a child, thus these situations become apparent.
I bet the College boasts a 95% job finding success rate as well...

If she had low attendance at least she would have an excuse for her mediocre grades. The perfect attendance just makes her look dumb.

Honestly, what does it take to get a 2.7 besides showing up? If my college GPA was 2.7 you better believe it wouldn't be part of my resume. As someone who has spent many hours searching through resumes looking for potential employees, I can say if I saw a resume highlight a very average GPA, I'd toss it aside and never look at it again.

Question: What is usually the min GPA to put on a resume, from someone who sorts through resumes? I was told 3.5
