Anyone looking for a job after university is often unsettled: Are my grades too bad - or do HR managers value completely different things? Experts provide the answer.
After completing their studies, graduates go out of their way to fish their dream job. But not everyone can boast top grades. Do these still play a role in HR later?
Only every fourth HR specialist takes into account the grades of young professionals
According to studies by the job portal Stepstone , every fourth HR manager takes the grades of applicants into account . But not even every tenth recruiter requires a very good university degree from 1.0 to 1.5 for young professionals.

Soft skills and experience count above all when applying
However, grades alone are not decisive when assigning a job. " Independence, commitment and the ability to cooperate, social skills and that the applicant fits the corporate culture are much more important today," says a press release from the job portal. Those who can then demonstrate practical experience through a student job or internships will ultimately collect a lot of plus points from the companies.
