<p>This guy had a job for 15 years and is trying to find another one. He’ll find one eventually with all his experience. Just had bad luck with an employeer who didn’t like his GPA.</p>
<p>I have had 3 interviews with fortune 500 biopharma companies and none of them asked me to show proof of my GPA. Only one interviewer asked me what it was and a verbal answer was sufficient enough. GPA might matter during your first interview but after that all they care about is the fact that you have a degree and work experience.</p>

<p>Yes they can be compared…because with the same amount of similar work experience, the candidates are the same.</p>
<p>Work experience doesn’t say much about intelligence. I’m willing to bet CalTech/MIT/Harvard would at least warrant a second look where one normally might not be warranted.</p>
<p>I haven’t graduated yet but honestly this is just basic resume common sense, if you’re GPA is low don’t put it. I can see it being somewhat important when landing your first job out of college but if you have 15 years of experience it shouldn’t be an issue and there’s really no reason to put it on your resume after that much time. I had an internship this summer and I was talking with my manager ,who’s been an engineer for like 30 years, about GPA, experience, even taking the FE exam and he told me when hiring, experience is the main thing he has always considered.</p>

</p>
<p>Yep. That and character, communication and leadership skills and cultural fit within the company.</p>
