I often get asked why I don’t talk about GPA in my book or in my content. I tell people that it’s because everyone is talking about GPA and I personally do not think GPA is that important. In my opinion, you should focus less on GPA and more on networking. Since this is such an important topic I have decided to bring in my friend Manny De La Cruz to debate the importance of GPA on the podcast.  Manny brings a different perspective to this debate since he works in a more technical field where GPA is more important.  Manny works for ExxonMobile as a North America Olefins Optimizer and a Minority Recruiter.  If you would like to connect with Manny reach out to him on LinkedIn.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mannytalks/ Manny also has a very good podcast focused on helping college students in STEM get jobs.  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/manny-talks/id1385158174   Let’s connect!
