[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't hire someone fresh out of college with a GPA below 3.0. I'm a hiring manager in an engineering field. Others may feel differently.[/quote] Different engineering hiring manager. I have had consistently good success with ignoring GPA and focusing instead on skills. Federal engineering jobs usually will start pay at GS-7 if GPA > 3.0 and start pay at GS-5 otherwise. [/quote] OP here. Thank you all for your comments. It helped me ground my thoughts. As I mentioned, we don't monitor his grades and were happy he landed a good internship. But we don't want him (and us) to live in a la-la land too. There can be a zone between bringing awareness of the real world and putting mental pressure. But engineering hiring manager, if you are still following this thread, where do you look for federal engineering jobs? Dept of transportations? Thank you![/quote]
