Just a couple of questions about how Lockheed screens a candidate.
Some Background:
I'm a Junior environmental science and technology student. Up until this semester I was an engineering student, but I was doing really poorly and it was affecting my health so I decided to make the switch.
Now I'm applying for a corporate internship in sustainability with Lockheed and I also submitted my application to the Talent Acquisition pool.
I know a lot of people on here mostly talk about the technical jobs, but with the corporate sustainability internship will my low gpa from my previous major (~2.5) disqualify me immediately? I pretty much have all of the experience they're asking for in the job post, but I didn't mention any of my struggles with my previous major in my cover letter, so they really have no way of knowing why my gpa is so low.
Also I recently got an email from a University recruiter (through the talent acquisition pool, though I honestly thought they were black holes), who is also asking for my GPA and "what one skill sets you a part from other applicants" so they can place me in job opportunities (I guess that means forwarding my info to different hiring managers around the country)
I just kind of want an idea of my chances. I really want to work for Lockheed, but I think I'll definitely be screened out because of this.
