Job search isn't merely a numbers game. Be prepared to face rejection far more often than not. But you won't succeed by simply applying to enough openings, but by persevering for that one success.

If you're asked this question in the interview, then your GPA at least wasn't a deal-breaker. But it is a concern, so be ready with an answer that satisfies and even impresses.
