However, I want to comment on what I look for when reviewing resumes of new grads. I want to see strong academic performance combined with extra-curricular activities that actually require commitment and effort and/or work experience. Given the nature of the position I am filling, I want to hire a new grad who has demonstrated that he/she can successfully do more than one thing at a time (e.g. academics + position on student council + part-time job). Note: Graduates who "pad" their resumes with extra-curricular activities that do not have substance should expect some potentially awkward moments in job interviews when they are asked to expand upon such activities.
