Pro Forma GPA on Resume?

Monkeys,

I feel that my GPA has really been holding me back lately. What are your thoughts on putting a pro forma GPA on my resume? I was thinking it would look something like the following:

Really shows my knack for banking I think... but curious of your opinion guys?

Haha. I'm sure every banker would love this except for the fact that most resumes go through HR. sb'd for taking the time to do this.

I think your model has a formula error in cell D6 and E6, please revise. Additionally, let's circle back also on the assumptions made in column C, as C6 seems rather aggressive. Finally, can you please re-perform the analysis on a quarterly basis to give a prospective recruiter a better sense of true operational performance?

Please have the updates ready for my review by 7 AM tomorrow.

 

I have failed my firm and disgraced my family. I must commit harakiri immediately in front of my MD to right this wrong.

 

Can't be real. Too many words and proper punctuation >:(

I'm famous now that people are ripping me off I guess... unless I'm not that creative and this has been done before, which would make sense given I work in banking (they definitely ripped from me... look at time stamps on post vs. mine... but tbh their meme is hilarious too)

 

HOLY SHIT they totally ripped my thing haha. I'm a lean mean meme machine and probably going to get fired for it

 

Lol joked around about this and adj. SAT / ACT with some of the other analysts before:

(1) Unadjusted GPA of 3.79 – Adjustments include heavy drinking on the weekdays (+0.10), excessive video gaming (+.03), participation in campus-wide drinking competitions such as flip cup, century pong, and Beer Olympics (+.02), and an overall dedication to the YOLO lifestyle (+.05) (2) Adjusted from 2170 and 34 due to lack of studying before both tests
