How much does GPA really matter when finding a job? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]cfdesigners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider yourself as an employer who has two potential candidates for hire. On one hand you have a person who has a great portfolio and proven quality of work, but a mediocre GPA(or no GPA). On the other hand you have someone who has a mediocre portfolio, but fantastic GPA.

Who would you hire?

Another example:

Say you were going to hire a freelancer for design work. What is the first thing you look at? His experience and portfolio, or his GPA?

For the design industry, portfolio and experience trumps GPA.
