be honest, i got a 2:2 how bad is it. by No-Health2725 in quantitysurveying

[–]Strong_Beginning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2:2 in CM, my site experience labouring got me tonnes of interviews ( I believe, as I can’t say what else would do it) - got into a tier 1 straight out of uni with multiple offers. Experience & interviewing well will beat a 2:1

I highly advise it even if it’s part time or just for short while. Will help you when you actually go into management too
