Should I include my GPA on my resume? I feel like it doesn't matter anymore since I've had a job in public accounting, but I'm not sure what the norm is. It's between a 3.5-4.0, so it's not embarrassing or something.

Nobody cares about GPA once you’ve had a job. All they care about is if you have your CPA.

Keep it if you around 5 years out from school. After that, meh

Agreed. As a partner who has done a ton of experienced hire recruiting, I’d say if you have consistent employment and good experience for 5 years after graduation then the gpa won’t mean much. However, a gpa in your range is pretty darn good in my view so no harm in including it.

GPA is useless after you get your first job. Nobody cares If you graduated summa cum laude or something, that's worth noting, but GPA is excessive.

I put whatever honors I graduated with on there so that it conveys what I achieved without looking like I'm stuck in the past.

I put my masters gpa and then summa cum laude for my undergrad. They definitely looked at it on my resume and cared. Keep it on and maybe add one additional honor if its exceptional. Got the job so it couldn’t have hurt!

How far out of school? If you can add anything to your resume to make you look better, then add it

Include it. Firms actually pay attention to it given it's your first role out of PA

Include your honors if applicable cum laude magna sum laude etc

Did you graduate with Latin honors? If not it’s irrelevant. Especially if you have a CPA

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
