Advocating College Leadership Skills.

  Let's face it, college is tough. There are general education requirements and requirements within your own major. However, not all parts of college life are created equal. One of the experiences that you make sure you attain in school is some form of leadership role in any activity. In can be in any activity as long as you are able to describe your engagement with the club or sport and how you personally grew from these experiences. Why?

• Businesses are looking for future leaders.
• They want to know if you can organize a large project.
• They want to know if you can meet deadlines outside of class requirements.
• They want to know that you can work well with others.
• They want to know if you can stretch outside your comfort zone.
• Are you willing to take risks?
• Are you willing to take blame if something doesn't go well?
• Do you learn from mistakes and fix them for the future?

  The best point of all of these is whether or not you can lead people and still get along with them enough that they not only follow the guidelines of the project but are an asset to the completion of the project. That has to do with your leadership. Don't take collegiate leadership lightly, the experience may land you your dream job!
