Subject: Alumna Sues College Because She Hasn't Found a Job
Written By: danootaandme on 08/04/09 at 5:27 am
Maybe it was English that dragged down that stellar GPA
As Thompson sees it, any reasonable employer would pounce on an applicant with her academic credentials, which include a 2.7 grade-point average and a solid attendance record. But Monroe's career-services department has put forth insufficient effort to help her secure employment, she claims.
"They're supposed to say, 'I got this student, her attendance is good, her GPA is all right -- can you interview this person?' They're not doing that," she said.

for those who don't know grade point averages, the best is 4.0, 2.7 is about a B-.

Well..."I got.." is bad English ... so perhaps she should be working on her presentation skills instead of whining... ::)

She should also use her skills to read a newspaper, or internet news, to see that she isn't the only one.
