To all HR folks - does the background check specifically include GPA confirmation? I already know about sealed transcript submission but just wondering on the background check specifics.

No one gives AF. I had a 2.95. Resume said 3.2. And the minimum requirement was a 3.5.

OP’s not necessarily asking to cover a lie... for example, when I turned in my transcripts from 3 different schools, I was worried that I calculated my GPA wrong b/c of a difference in grading scale, transfer credit, etc.

I don’t know the answer to your question but HIGHLY doubt anyone would bother to recalculate it. Once you’re to that point in the process I don’t think anyone would care much

Fyi - my dad works at a background check company. Companies basically have two packages they can choose, an experienced hire package which doesn’t include a GPA check and a new hire package which does check your GPA (when you give consent when applying for the job)

@EY1 Get a grip. I didn’t lie.

Gpa confirmation? You mean do they go ask your school? No that would be a breach of federal law. Schools can only disclose your records with your expressed permission.

It is what it is I suppose. Different people would take it differently

They can see your GPA on your transcript.

Yeah, but when you have multiple transcripts you have to combine the GPAs. My point is sometimes the GPAs aren’t apples to apples so it’s hard to combine them.

Pretty easy to weight GPA scores... I think an accounting firm could figure it out.

You combine gpas across transcripts? Interesting I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen different approaches to this, especially when it comes to rounding. Some people absolutely think it’s lying to round, some don’t. So I can’t say what people would think of this.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Hi Fishes,

This is in regards with my resignation. I have resigned on 22nd March (LWD : 22 June ) on medical grounds. Since then, my hr has asked for my prescriptions and medical certificates to give me an early release.

Please help me out fishes with your advices

Hi Folks,
I am working for NetApp Client, Bangalore however My base Location is Hyderabad, and I have heard from a couple of NetApp Employees that they are planning to resume offices by May.
My questions are:

2. If they call will I be asked to relocate to Bangalore as my client's location is Bangalore or will I be working from Hyderabad only?

PS: My manager has left the organisation and I am the sole person from UST in my project.

Signed a verbal offer pending a background check - have you told your current employer you're leaving before the background check process was complete?
