Voting Question: Sending transcript with job application?

31/08/09

Also: During the time that I received the low grades I was dealing with the death of my older brother that happened at the start of the new semester so it took a toll on me.
I’m applying for a job in the educational field as a counselor. In college I majored in a physical science which overall I didn’t make too good of grades in but I was very actively involved on campus from a student affairs view and have note worthy experience to carry out this position very well as the requirements are what I had done while in college. I plan on receiving my masters degree in education as well and if I’m able to get a job in education while applying to grad school I think it will help my application to grad school out even more showing active involvement in the field I will eventually go in to. But what my question truly is, although I didn’t do to well overall grades wise with my final cumulative being 2.2 and a 2 F’s in advanced Physics and a differential equations classes that I did make up and passed, otherwise I couldn’t have graduated; do you think I will still be considered for the job interview since it’s in a different field? And do they just use the transcripts to verify that a college degree was attained or do they look at overall?
