Do you have your GPA on your resume?

[Actaeon]

Nope, but would if it was higher 🙂

My HS GPA was around 2.1 last time I checked, but I expect it to jump to 2.25 or 2.3 when I get the next grades report. Either way, not good enough to mention on a resume.

Yes because it is good and it gives the indication that I worked hard in college. It should signal to employers that I will work hard on the job as well. I don't see how listing it could hurt you, unless it's low.

on first glance of topic, i thought it said GPS, and not GPA...i was like, "wha?"

:shocked:

my gpa is only 3.4 so i dont put it, if you are applying for your first job and you have a good gpa putting it might help,
if you have some amount of experience gpa is not really a factor

if your gpa is 4.0 then definetely put it

 

[cronos]

no, it's embarrasing

 

[FuZoR]

hell no...

my gpa is pathetic 🙁

Nope for several reasons:
A) My GPA is not great (3.0)
B) GPAs are mainly reflective of how good you are at writing finals
C) If I were an employer, I'd only want to know someone's GPA if it was truly exceptional or absolutely horrible.

I'd put my GPA on my resume if it was >3.8 , which in EE is truly exceptional. Anything below that doesn't really serve any purpose IMHO.

What about jobs that require a certain level of GPA to apply?

the one thing that a GPA helps to do is distinguish between two similar applicant -- if a human resource manager is looking at two identical resumes (both recent college graduate with minimal real-life work experience), a high GPA would help distinguish your resume from the other.

after working a couple years your GPA is pointless, but I would still include degree & any "cum laudes" that go with it. just leave the numbers off.
