I guess the interviewer is not blind,because your cv is with him or her before the interview. You telling the interviewer your grade is like 'adding a cup of water to an ocean'. Are you a learner? |

You can; if you are going to use it to emphasize your skills and work ethic. |

You can if you're using it to prove that you strive towards EXCELLENCE. Also will be great too if you were the best graduating student. Please anything about you that gives you an advantage over other candidates is very welcome. It all goes to prove that you have the diligence to follow through in whatever you do. All the best to you. I advice you, write down all the advantages you have 'over others' and find a way to fuse them into your answers. |

Originakalokalo: Unless the interviewer is intimidated by your success and is bent on employing a mediocre. |

Originakalokalo: Guys, i have a job interview coming up.if i mention my grade,does it make or mar me? I won't advise you mention your grade verbally in the course of your interview. Some interviewers would see you as a proud chap if you do or feel intimidated. However, I will suggest you indicate it in your resume and also prove your worth to them during the interview. Best of luck! |

Originakalokalo: Maybe they're worried you might outshine them and uppercut them to oblivion in the office. Maybe the structure of the firm can't accommodate someone as smart as you are. But that shouldn't be your problem. Concentrate on selling to them the 'appropriate YOU'. The YOU that fits the job! |
