Hi, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, grades don't matter too much so I think your grades would be absolutely fine. What's more important is having good experience and achievements which you can present to the recruiters to stand out from the other candidates. If you want, I can send through some resources including current work experience opportunities and how to stand out from the other candidates. Just let me know if you'd be interested and I'll send them through.
