I’m applying to a staff level position at ey. I’m a recent college grad (December 2021) and I have 8 months of consulting internship experience. The application is requiring a college transcript and asking that I list my GPA grade. Although I already graduated and have consulting experience, how much can a bad GPA affect my application? My undergrad gpa (<3.0) is not so great due to personal reasons, so I’m a bit nervous my application will be bypassed in the resume filter process.

If it’s for a campus hire position, it will greatly impact your application. If you’re applying for an experienced hired, it usually wont affect it

Correct, so unless you have a strong connection in the firm willing to stick their neck out for you you probable will be filtered out unfortunately

What’s your major gpa?

If you really need to list a gpa I’d say just list that one

like

No one will ask or care abt GPA. Leave it off your resume.

It’s required in the application. This is for a campus recruit position

Any way you can bypass the application and get directly in touch with a recruiter?

Yea dude. People successfully find recruiters on LinkedIn and network their way into roles all the time. Every job I have had since college was through a recruiter. It’s a much better bet than the black hole that is putting your application in through the job board.

Just use your major GPA. That's what I did. Fake it till you make it 😏

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?

I'm 32 and looking to make a career change. Previously I've been in sales, sales QA and some analyst position. I want to transition into learning programming and decided the best roadmap for me would be to learn Salesforce, land an entry level admin job and develop my skills over time to transition into programming.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?
