If an A is worth 4.0 what's a B worth?

I have found from the professionals I talk to that employers mostly look at your past work experience. Any experience in general is good. The basic fast food and retail is ok if you have nothing else but if you have something other than that which is better, they really do look at that also. I feel as long as you really do try your best and at least have a grade above 2.0 then you'll be ok. I do not see why people like to put their GPA or marks on their resumes because its not a requirement. If the employer ask then be honest but try to justify or back up your grade somehow.

I felt the same way but I did a mock interview with BP Amoco and they said that they toss out any resumes without the GPA on it. Guess I won't be applying there

yea whats worse is that my transcript has 2 years on the 9pt system and 2 yrs on the 4pt system. so its pretty tough to figure out my overall gpa.

all the schools im applying to now hate me cuz of this..
