GPA conversion for resume
I have been reading quite a bit on Wall Street Oasis and it has been very helpful so far.
I am currently in the process of applying for several finance jobs, mostly in the UK.
As I am from a continental European country (think France or Germany) I am wondering if I should transfer my final grade into the UK grade system.
Thanks for your help!
No.
Every major employer that I've gone through (varies for boutiques) allows you to enter your grades based on the system used in your country. eg UK so enter A-Levels and First/2.1/2.2/3/Fail USA so enter high-school and uni GPA France so enter IB and whatever the Frenchies use
Converting GPA or not ? (Originally Posted: 09/03/2009)
Hi everyone,
I am about to apply for an equity research position in London. I have a master's degree from my French univeristy where grades are given on a /20 scale basis. Should I convert it into GPA scale( how to?) to add it to my resume or leave the /20 scale ?
Thanks for your help !
Don't convert it. HR aren't as retarded as you think, and you certainly aren't the first French person to apply
actually, HR are exactly as retarded as you think. I still wouldn't convert it though
