    Employers typically look at grades, work experience, and areas of competence when making hiring decisions. If your extracurricular activities have enhanced your talents (for example, you wrote for the college newspaper and are seeking for a career as a writer), employers will be interested in learning more about them.You have clearly explained. Great work
