美联英语提供：职场英语：面试时如何解释GPA（Grade Point Average即平均成绩点数）太低Answer by Josh Tolan, CEO of S在线视频简历平台S首席执行官约什?托朗的回答It’s certainly important to be honest about your grades, but remember that while you may have to discuss some negative aspects of your career history during a job interview, you should always highlight accomplishments alongside it as well. Many college students have low GPAs because they’re focused on other things, like working at the school newspaper, being heavily involved in clubs, volunteer work, or building new organizations on and off campus. Or maybe your grades were low because you were working a job to pay off college tuition or living expenses. Explain this to your interviewer, and transition into more positive aspects of your college experience by saying something like, Although these activities negatively affected my GPA, I was able to build my skills in other ways and fulfill a number of other accomplishments, including… and provide some examples. Be sure your interviewer knows you weren’t just slacking off.诚实面对自己的成绩，当然很重要，但要记住，虽然面试中你可能不得不谈论一些职业生涯中的负面情况，但重点是介绍自己在这个过程中所取得的成绩。许多大学生的平均绩点(GPA)较低，是因为他们将精力用在了其他方面，比如在校报工作，积极参与俱乐部、志愿者工作，或在校园内外组建新的社团等。你的成绩低也有可能是因为你不得不去打工挣学费或生活费。向面试官解释自己的原因，然后将话题引到更积极的方面，比如可以说：“这些活动虽然影响了我的成绩，但我由此锻炼了其他方面的能力，并取得了一些成就，比如……”，然后提供一些实例。一定要让面试官知道，你在大学里并没有混日子。Answer by Stuart Liroff, technical recruiter技术招聘专员斯图尔特?里诺夫的回答I agree with telling the truth. However, I disagree that working part-time, doing other extra curricular activities, (even relevant ones such as student government, fraternity leadership, clubs, volunteering, etc,) are an acceptable excuse. In my opinion, there is no good excuse whatsoever for a low GPA.我同意说出事实真相。但我并不认为做兼职或参加其他课外活动（即便是一些相关的活动，比如学生会、兄弟会领导、俱乐部、志愿者等），是可以接受的理由。在我看来，平均绩点低，没有什么好的借口。If you use such an excuse, you’ll get categorized as a ‘whiner’ and ‘complainer’ and won’t get hired.如果你找这样的借口，你会被划入“牢骚者”和“抱怨者”之列而被弃用。I believe low GPA is a function of not performing higher on whatever standardized grading system y
