Do you think your grades accurately reflect your ability

If you have high grades, the answer obviously is "yes".  If you don’t, say no, but describe other things which do demonstrate your ability – your part-time or full-time job during, your leadership role in extracurricular activities,your internship at a local radio or TV station,taking care of or financially supporting a sick parent, volunteer work at a local hospital once a week, etc.Do this without being defensive – grades matter very little to an employer after that first post-college job, since all he or she really wants is a good employee who will perform the job well and be manageable.
