If my GPA is not that impressive (low 3.0 range), but my other resume points are very very spot-on (not bragging, heard from recruiters), is it to my benefit to put my "education" section at the bottom of the page so that recruiters read through the page first then hit the GPA and are *hopefully* like, "well, maybe we can ask him at the interview"? (I have a pretty good reason for it, but I don't think it's appropriate for the cover letter.) Or are they just going to jump to the GPA anyway and say "nope, no thanks."
FYI, I go to a very well-known (and very well-known to be difficult) university and am a student in arguably the toughest major there, but I realize that's not a valid reason for a low GPA. Just wanted your opinion on what to do.
Oh yeah, please assume that the people that review my resume will also have access to my transcript to verify my GPA on the spot (not that I'd cheat, I'm saying there is no point to leaving it off the resume because they could just check). |
