Despite what people will tell you, grades are not a measure of intelligence, but rather a measure of your ability to complete assignments at acceptable levels. If you can’t write a three-page essay about water purification (or whatever silly topic you want) to a decent level, why the hell would I trust you to complete the $2 million prototype I need developed?

Credit scores supposedly show your economic stability and your ability to make good decisions in life (people never have poor credit without doing it to themselves), that an employer hopes will cross over into good decision-making in your stable career life at their company. This one’s a little controversial, and probably a little more than half of the HR directors and other hiring types that I’ve talked to could give a flying crap about your credit score. Others take it very seriously.

They show that an individual can handle responsibility and strive to keep things organized. If your credit score or GPA is off the deep end, you may have a problem with keeping track of things…not a quality that an employer looks for.

A good credit score shows you are responsible and a high grade point average speaks to your work ethic.

Credit scores are believed to indicate people who follow though on obligations and perhaps are more stable.

Grade point averages are considered indicia of intelligence, ability to work and achieve, believed to be good indicators for success in life and employment.
