Govt workers

[phorbesie]

i'm throwing an application in for a job (which i'm not really qualified for but hey, it's govt how hard can it be )

but they are asking for my GPA and my 'cumulative average'

now i have no idea what my GPA would be (BC doesn't do GPA) but in looking around on the web i can take a guess. but what the heck does cumulative average represent and how does it differ?

thanks

you don't need to submit that if you're not currently in school... that's only if you are applying right out of university.*

*-this is what i was told when i asked the people running the gov't competition i entered a couple months ago. you should doublecheck though.

Here's an inside tip when applying for government jobs. If there's any sort of self-assessment, i.e. rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 5, always give the highest possible score for each category/question. If you don't you'll likely be screened out before anyone important even looks at your resume.

I find it odd that they would ask for your GPA info. Here's a tool to help you out maybe?

You could always ask them if they meant:

government procurement agreement

general power of attorney
