Afraid that you might get rejected because of your transcript?

Grades aren’t everything. For the slackers and the delinquents, don’t applaud me for saying that. Indeed you are required by (some) companies to bring your transcripts with you during your job interviews but then, do not despair if you think your grades aren’t that good. Who cares if you got a failing mark in some of your non-major subjects (subjects that were not really related to your course, but your were required to take it anyway under your degree)? Those grades—they’re all numbers. It doesn’t really mean that if you got a failing mark in physical education, cooking, history and the like, then you’re not going to get a good decent job. Companies nowadays look for people with skills—normally what they call the “people person†and/or those who are motivated to do the tasks given to them.
