Do employers look at uni grades?

Grades are not everything. That's why smart employers look beyond a student's GPA. They want evidence of internships, student associations, part-time jobs and other extra-curricular activities that show a well-rounded graduate. They want to know the student has so-called 'soft skills', such as communication.

No employer should hire graduates on GPA alone. A top student can still have weak problem-solving or teamwork skills. They might struggle to adapt, lack creativity and have low emotional intelligence. Or not have the personality to influence and lead others. Grades are not everything. National Australia Bank is the latest to dismiss academic performance in its graduate intake. PwC Australia last year said it would no longer assess job graduates on their university grade point average (GPA). Expect more companies to do the same in the next few years. A student works hard at university, attends every lecture, prepares well for exams and earns top grades. Then is overlooked for a job interview because a prospective employer ignores university marks when hiring graduates. That’s why smart employers look beyond a student’s GPA. They want evidence of internships, student associations, part-time jobs and other extra-curricular activities that show a well-rounded graduate. They want to know the student has so-called ‘soft skills’, such as communication. But grades must be part of the mix. A devaluation of university marks among large employers, should it continue, should set off alarm bells in industry and academia. Why bother to attend university at all? The Australian Industry Group last month claimed that tertiary education was failing to keep up with the needs of employers and that some graduates are close to unemployable. Now the blowtorch is on the value of university grades. I fear this is part of an industry push to turn universities into dumbed-down vocational education providers that teach on-the-job skills rather than real learning that lasts a lifetime, challenges students to think differently and is transportable across industry. Why not just give a degree to anyone who pays for it and shows up for the training? Better still, let’s turn degrees into prize for every child who competes, regardless of merit, and forget about developing resilience in young people.

Increased fitness

If you walk regularly means you walk daily, or at least a few times a week for about 30 minutes or longer.

Also, once you become a regular walker: You are less likely to fall and suffer leg or hand fractures because your bones are stronger.
