THE VIRTUAL INTERVIEW

ANSWER #4

Question: What was your GPA? Why is it low?
  1. Incorrect: This doesn't describe your skills and abilities and sounds like you had a bit too much fun in college.

  2. This is the best answer. This shows you have given some thought to your college GPA and are aware of what influenced it outside of the classroom. The more involved and busy you were during college the more likely the employer will accept a lower GPA

  3. Incorrect: This has a bitter sound to it. Perhaps you should set your standards higher. This answer doesn't show much motivation, sounds like you are willing to be average. Be careful to steer clear of negatives which will exclude you from consideration.
