Including CGPA In Curriculum Vitae Or Resume, Necessary Or Unnecessary? by Medley(m): 11:31am On Nov 11, 2016 |
There was an argument on a previous thread , where a nairalander included CGPA under his education am qualification. and I ask, on what grounds Will the inclusion of CGPA on ones CV be ragarded as a no no ?. I think it's a major selling point for a fresh graduate with little or no experience. what do one stand to lose for its inclusion. the only exception to this is when it's not a strong ( 2'1 or 2'2). can't you defend it? then why should one be afraid of it inclusion. you may leave out First class CGPA, the inclusion here is unnecessary. also. for vacancies where expererience and skill is required inclusion of CGPA is unnecessary. this is my .opinion.. what do you guys and ladies think? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

It is bullsh**it As u advance in career, u will remove it yourself. As hiring manager, I am not interested in your CGPA, Your skill set and class of graduation is enough for me. I will give a First CLASS student with the same skill set as others a priority any day, any time but not 3.9 over 3.5. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

If you have a strong 2.2 like 3.441 as CGPA and you want to apply for a job that requires 2.1, you can put it to try your luck. If your CV is articulated with relevant information in a contructive/appealing manner, you may be considered 11 Likes 2 Shares |

I think just the class of degree is alright. If you feel your cgpa on your resume would give you an advantage, go for it. 1 Like |

It's not really necessary especially if it's not so good. But here, it's good to include it for some jobs as some of those jobs are competitive and "some"employers base their shortlisting on that. Some employers will even send you an email to state your CGPA. So it totally depends. But like someone said, Most experienced jobs, doesnt require it. It only gives an upper edge when youre a new graduate. After years of experience, your skillset is all that matters most. 3 Likes |

patriotic9jaboy: I was waiting for that idiotic comment. Dem ask simple question e don dey call Iheanacho. Do you know the number of aspiring footballers still playing on sand sand pitch with grey hair after 20 years of hoping? The surest way to financial success is still academic success. Rate may not even be up to 50% but things like football have rates like 1%. To the question, if it's 4.44 like that gentleman's please include it. Your CV should have things that will positively distinguish you from the others and such a CGPA is one. If it's however close to or even below the median point of that degree class then there's no need. 19 Likes 1 Share |
