Is a high GPA needed to succeed?
construction employers understand that students have different circumstances. construction employers do take a university's reputation into consideration, but they also understand working to pay your way through school, extracurricular involvement and extenuating circumstances can lower your academic marks. Having relevant experience like internships is key to getting ahead in today's cutthroat job market. Luckily, a superior GPA from a top-ranked university isn't required to get an internship. Internship coordinators look for construction executives with a go-getter attitude, something that can be expressed in a cover letter and construction interview – not a construction resume or transcript.
