GPA - absolutely. If it's not there, the assumption will be that the reason it isn't there is because it's bad (especially as a new grad). Like when you look at a 2nd hand car listing and they leave off mileage - you know it will be huge. Transcripts, no - they just add unnecessary padding at this stage, nobody wants to read those unless they absolutely have to, so they'd only be asked for at the end of the process, if at all. But more importantly than either of these - you should write your resume differently depending on what you are applying for. Highlight what is most valuable to the organization you are applying to. If this means you have to reduce the number of applications you send out, that's fine, it's much better to have fewer well targeted applications. And try to state facts, not claims. By which I mean - don't claim to 'work well in a team', or have 'excellent X'. Show what you've done and the impact it had. If you wrote something cool at the age of 10, I can infer that you're smart and self-directed from that. Good luck. |
