Are GCSE grades asked for? (UK)
I'm planning on applying for some IB SA 2021 positions in the UK, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could let me know if my GCSE grades will be requested at any point during the application process. My A Level grades are solid, but GCSE grades are only so-so but I guess decent nonetheless. Should I put them down on my resume?
Edit: We're talking mainly As but a few Bs.
Edit 2: Shit, I just realized I posted this in off-topic. I thought I was posting it in jobs. My bad, guys.
Thanks.
No, HR only have requirements for A-Levels/IB/equivalent, and Uni grade. Usually first years/+ only keep GCSE grades in their resume if they have done extremely well, it is not needed
Thank you for your response! Just to clarify, by "first years/+," you mean first years and above, right? Because a second-year friend of mine still mentions his grades on his GCSE resume. They're very good, but if this isn't common practice, I'll give him a heads up. He had an unusually hard time securing a summer internship.
it’s fine to have it , it is just irrelevant 2nd year and up. if your friend is having a hard time recruiting it’s due to lack of relevant experience/uni grades not gcse good luck!
Oh, I see, I'll be sure to let him know --- Thanks a ton for your feedback!
Hey, there is no need to put it on your CV. The application portals have space for you to put it. Typically, people that have space on their CV put it in or students that did very well leave it in. Suggest that they have had high attainment for a long time. A-Levels matter more.
Best of Luck
Thank you very much for your help!
Hey, I see you're talking about grades on your CV here. My problem is that I'm a first-year and my uni cancelld exams this year due to covid so I have no class to put on my CV. Would you explain that I have no grade dut to covid or just don't mention anything on CV?
