From my own experience in the co-op program, a lot of them don't ask for transcripts. Those that do are mostly government jobs, or government funded jobs, or highly sought after jobs: like investment banking, etc. They usually say very clearly in the job description. So if your grade is bad and they require transcript, I wouldn't bother.
The guy above is right. Almost all students have no experience. But they don't rely on grades to evaluate you. That's so 1990s. These day, after the ATS system screened you, the employers use your resume and the interview to evaluate if you can do, want to and fit the job. I'd say being likeable and have sales skills are much more valuable than some percentage number on your transcript.
However, the reality is you still gotta keep your cumulative grades at a respectable level. It's like wiping your ass: Nobody wants to do it but you gotta do what you gotta do. I myself loath studying course that I have no interests in. But hey, you gotta get that degree. Then you can say "sayonara bitches".
Also tailored made resume/ cover letter is a must. Don't even bother throwing in generic ones. It's a pain in the ass but that's what it takes.
