[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many jobs did your recent grad apply to during their senior year/post grad before getting one? And what was their major? DD is a math major at a mid level big 10 school and started applying with a 2.9 and is finding it difficult. Everyone wants to know her gpa and she gets cut.[/quote]

Can she lie, or are these companies actually asking for transcripts? When I've been involved in background checks on new hires, the education verification has never gone beyond confirming the degree itself and the date it was earned. Nothing about GPA, even if it was asked for on the application. [/quote]
ugh, please don't do this. it's dishonest, and I say this as someone who lied about my resume when I was a fresh grad desperate to get hired. (I made up two jobs and a few awards and added to my resume and even though nothing did ever come of it, I spent the entire two years I worked for that company worrying about "what if"? It was no way to live. Just be honest.)[/quote]
