In a tough economic climate it’s tempting to feel your future is out of your hands, however it’s even more important during these times to focus on the current job you do have - that of being a student and doing the best you can at it. If you work on getting the best possible grade in your degree you are giving yourself the best possible competitive edge in the job market.
Another way you can use your years in college to increase your appeal to potential employers is to work on your extra curricular activities such as entering competitions like this. This is why we always emphasise the importance of participation in college clubs, societies and sporting teams, to present yourself as a well-rounded individual with proven interpersonal skills such as teamwork, organisation, leadership, public speaking, commitment to a project in terms of time and effort etc. However quality not quantity is key. Your time is valuable so just pick one or two that you are really interested in and can be commit to. The ability to juggle coursework, and outside interests is an important quality that employers always look for.
So, why not check out the awards website and submit your topgrade essay. The deadline is December 17th, 2010. Best of luck!
