Employers look at a wide range of factors. As with most career-related issues, what will be most important will vary depending on the type of employer. They will consider curriculum, grade point average, transferable skills acquired, employment/internship history and volunteer work, extra-curricular activities, and “fit.” Depending on the employer, these qualities will be weighted differently. Some employers will focus more on work experience in their field; others will focus on level of leadership activity, and others on grades. In general, employers look for students who have performed well in a variety of areas.
