When you are about to graduate college and there is a job fair, do they look at your resume and/or transcript?


will the same apply when you are about to graduate and you apply for a job?

For a job fair or interview your resume should be enough. However you should specifically list classes pertinent to the job you are interested in on the resume. In addition, you should list your GPA. You can list your major's GPA if it's better than your overall or vice versa (but specify which it is). Do NOT lie. Most employers perform background checks when they hire you. Background checks are getting more and more automated and thorough.

While a resume is typically enough, if you have anything you want to attach to show specific skills for the job you are interested in attach them to the resume(examples might be letters of recommendation, an article you wrote for a school paper, sample lesson plans, pictures of bulletin boards you made, etc.).

At the job fair they normally just accept resumes but as far as your transcripts go...no...I dont think so. When you actually graduate and you apply for a job..majority of the time you will obviously need a resume and the transcripts arent normally necessary.

In general, just your resume will do. At this point in your career, you probably list out the key courses you took (pertinent to the industry) on your resume.

Job fairs are just that. They want to know your work background and your educational background. Some companies, depending on the profession, may ask you what your GPA was, but that's about it. You won't need your transcripts. Same goes for if you were just apply to a job not through a job fair. Make sure you have a good resume (but don't lie) and win them over with your personality!

They look at your resume. In most cases, if they select you for an interview they have you fill out an application and ask you to include your un-official transcript. At the interview they will ask you to sign a form allowing them to confirm that the transcript you gave them is accurate. At least, that is how all my job interviews went.

Educational careers will always request a transcript and may factor in grades you received as part of the criteria of selection. Govt positions may require a transcript but they only do so to verify graduation and so grades aren't weighed in. Normal industry positions rarely will ask for a transcript especially if you only listed a bachelors degree as your higher degree attainment; with grad school degrees they may request a transcript but once again they are only looking at verification of graduation and are not interested in your grades.
