Default Interview

Is your college transcript usually brought to an interview? And if so, do they usually ask you questions about classes you took or grades you made?

I was asked to have mine...be ready for it to take some time to get from your college. I don't know if they ever looked at it though, and they never asked anything about it...
In fact, now that I remember it, I was getting my Masters degree at the time, but hadn't finished, and during the interview, they had to ask me if I finished it, so I guess that means they never looked at it.

Many airlines want a copy of transcripts. If you got below a B, I'd be ready to answer questions pertaining to your college experience. Doesn't mean they will ask but don't be caught off guard.

Just bring a few copies and be ready to discuss it. I wouldn't worry about making sure that they were "official" transcripts from the school, copies are pry good enough unless they specify otherwise.

lol slice I don't see how anything you say can makeup for the fact that you got less than a B unless you had one serious family tragedy or something like that.

I picked up an awesome 2.6gpa when I graduated. Why? Because I earned an A in Cal IV and yet took three tries to get though english. Not to mention all the other classes that had nothing to do with what I was doing like C++ computer programing, american const. development(I liked that one though and did ok), or the several religion classes. I took bowling expecting it to be a breeze and the teacher was some nerd that was all about form and we all received Cs lol. While I like the religion classes they were very very tough. Don't let the name fool you. We're talking professors that grade your essays like a mother.

***So Mr. Duck why did you get a 2.6gpa? Duck:"Because calculus and physics were blowing my mind so hard I spent all freakin week bent over a book to figure it out and when I finally did it was time for a beer. A Big-O to be exact." OR "I had a 3.2 till I got involved with a woman then by the end it had sank to a 2.6". Chose your poison. I don't have any real reasons. At least I'm honest.

Saab...... I'm with you there! I didn't have a great GPA in college because of working my rear off to pay the bills and throw in a few parties in there too. My interviewer asked me about them and I was honest with him about my performance. I still got the job like SAAB did so I think if you have some rough spots in there you can use them as a learning experience! Good Luck!

Turbinebound, if you've got the minimums and are breathing, the regionals will hire you these days. Don't sweat it.
