Why Experience > Grades

Hey !

We’ve all heard it: “focus on your grades, they’re the key to success.”

But here’s the truth bomb 💥—real-world experience often carries way more weight than a GPA. And trust me, I’ve been there.

When I was in university, I quickly realized that while good grades looked nice on paper, what really opened doors were the experiences I had outside the classroom. Internships, projects, side gigs—those were the true game changers. 🎯

So, why does experience matter more than grades?

Because employers want to know that you can do the work, not just read about it.

They’re looking for skills, adaptability, and someone who’s willing to dive in.

Real-world experience proves you’re ready to hit the ground running, and it helps you stand out in a sea of resumes. 🏆

That’s where Connektd comes in—offering you experienceships and hands-on opportunities to build those skills and showcase your talent.
