What is extra curricular activity nothing but a waste of time? In this Twenty First century, this is an irony of fact that people still have this misconception. There are thousands of fresh graduates roaming around without a job. Aren't they qualified enough?? Yeah, they are qualified enough. But there are some factors which cannot be obtained from bookish knowledge; having a high CGPA isn't enough for your dream job. Then, what's the key to achieve your goals?? These are extracurricular activities.

Extra-curricular activities do not add any credit to one's University's grade but are an effective way to show how well socialized, how engaged a person is around his community. Arts, debate, dancing & singing club volunteering work, affiliation with student newspapers & University club's are some good examples of extra-curricular activities.

In this modern competitive era a person must have some personal possession and those are leadership, communication skills, critical thinking and so on. And all these skills can be developed through extracurricular activities.

Developing Leadership:

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other."- Jhon F. Kennedy. Leadership is an art. The future of a company depends on the leaders. Leader, the person who motivates the people, who shows the right path to the co-workers. When you go for a job interview, recruiters seek for many skills. Leadership is the most significant one among them.

Communication & Networking:

One of the greatest significance of this extra-curricular activity is networking. One can meet with new people, and help to build a completely new world.

These qualities make a person more qualified for jobs, makes a person confident, cheerful and many more. Besides, one can enrich his /her resume. So, it is time people change their point of view about joining a club, being affiliated with extracurricular activities and it should not be considered as a waste of time. And people should have the mindset that extra curricular activities never jeopardise our work but helps to build the dream career.
