Scott,

I did not get to read the rest of your comment but the work received Iis spelled wrong and I know we all make mistakes but that doesn’t look good since you are talking about a GPA.

Experience is definitely more important in almost every instance, but you never know what either a strong GPA or honors society could get you.

It is usually companies that have piles of resumes anyway, so they need some way of cutting the pile down, and GPA is a quick way of doing that. I know some companies use GPA as a preliminary gate.

Not only was it on my resume but I had to provide an official transcript that demonstrated that it was true. Good rules of thumb, though.

I feel I earned the grade that I recieved (3.85) and you can bet your rear that I am going to place it front and center! I would suggest that you don't post it if it is below a 3.0 ... or brag that you were an MBA graduate 'C' student ... or graduated 6th from the bottom of your graduating class like some well known persons openly and boastfully in the public arena! I wouldn't call a 'badge of honor!' But then maybe they don't know better. I have MY GPA on my resume!!!
