Stupid Fu<K!n€ Online Application Forms

Roro4Brit

Hi,

I've spent all day filling out a job application online. I really want it!! It is one of those fill in the boxes ones and I hate them.

Anyhow it is asking for my GPA (grade point average) for my degree and masters result but I have no idea how to calculate GPA. I googled it and there's no way to trasfer % to GPA easily as it requires the contact hours for each subject (no idea!!! )

It wont let me type in 'First Class Honours' as it wont recognise the format and it's the only box I need to do so I can submit!!! And I cant submit it with empty values either!

Help!!!!!

I hate writing cover letters, but I hate these forms even more Maybe try phoning to see if you can apply another way. Is this for a job outside of Ireland? Normally on those forms when you select the country the options become more flexible.

Yeah well it's a global company but even when Ireland is selected it stays as gpa! Driving me mad as it's the only thing I need to complete the application!

This website provides a grade conversion for different countries. If you select Ireland, it gives a number of percentage ranges, and letter grades that match.

e.g. 70-100% = A

Based on that, and the fact that a 4.0 GPA is equivalent to an A, I'd say you could put in 4.0.
