I’m in my final semester of my degree and recently I have a catch up session with high schoolmates and we were talking about our first job.
Things start to get interested when my friend say joining a club/society in university will definitely boost your resume when you go to work. However, I disagree of what he mentioned when I believe having a title of presidency of a certain club may makes it look nicer but I have seen tons of university club that did nothing but having fun and wasting time building friendship dramas or rather trying to find their dream girl or dream guy lol.
What I believe was using the extra time to build a small business to earn some cash or maybe educate yourself with many new skills and knowledge in revolutionary technologies. (Crypto for life?) 😜
I shared my views on these matters and my friend disagree of what is my POV and insist that having a good title would impress the interviewer instead. He felt that I’m too realistic and I felt that he’s too naive.
Well who is wrong and who is right? 🤔
Neither of you is completely wrong. There are some truths in both opinions. Clubs and societies lets you learn about working life in terms of dealing with office dramas and politics, client expectation, communication skills etc. No need to be president also ok as long as got some experience. For Me a maximum of 2 semesters is enough to be an active club member.

Doing small business teaches you humility and various other qualities that clubs cant give. Both of these will impress interviewer too. Personally, I went both routes and both gave me great stories to share during interviews and great pointer in working life.
