I received an XF grade for a class

<p>XF = Failure of course due to academic dishonesty</p>

<p>The XF grade will be seen on my transcript, and will stay on my transcript only until graduation. The XF becomes an F once I graduate.</p>

<p>Am I screwed when it comes to landing a job when I'm job searching during senior year? Isn't it still true that most companies don't even ask for a transcript? And even the ones that do, don't they ask for one for verification AFTER they accept you?</p>

<p>Also, is it possible to apply for full time jobs during May/June immediately after graduation (since most kids apply a few months before)? If you do get hired in this situation, how quickly would you begin working?</p>

<p>If you’re worried, don’t apply to jobs asking for your transcripts. Most companies will have it listed as a requirement or not on the job description/hire page. </p>

<p>Or if there’s a job you really want that does require it, be prepared to explain it–either as an attachment to your resume (if it’s asked before you’re allowed to interview) or during your interview. </p>

<p>Let them know you made a mistake-and more importantly–learned from it.</p>

<p>They might be lenient about it, especially if they’re really interested in you.</p>
