BS - I have never been asked my GPA in a job interview. It is more important that you can take the experiences from school with you and apply it to your job, than what your report card said.
Maybe he was being sarcastic?
For the record, a couple of places were impressed I graduated with honors. Most could care less.
Not at all. It has come up on every interview I have been on. What is cell phones for .RJ, is interviews for me.
I can't say I'm surprised.
Students, I wouldn't worry about grades too much. If you're normal, can communicate well, and show an ability to learn, any place you'd want to work out will value those factors over your GPA. In two (but maybe 5 interviews, all of which resulted in offers) jobs, I've never been asked mine.
