I had the opposite experience. It was nearly impossible for me to get an interview with a low GPA. Companies have so many applicants that they just throw out all resumes with a GPA below X, where X varies, but is usually 3.0 or higher.

When I left my GPA off my resume at one job-fair every single recruiter asked for it, from companies varying from a 10 person start up to Cisco.

At one company that I interviewed at because I didn't put my GPA on my resume, I had passed their technical evaluation, we had discussed salary ranges, when I could start, etc. put on the brakes when they were filling out a form for out-of-college hires that required GPA, and I told them.

In the three months from that interview living with my parents to when I got a job offer, I seriously considered whether I should have just lied to them about my GPA.

I ended up in a job I love though (at a company that didn't ask for my GPA), so it ended happily.
