Hi Jon ,
->I have joined renouned music school as part to build my guitar skills and take it to a next level may be through that i can get opportunity to perform at places and get a chance for more exposure and substantiate my interest and passion for music.
->Also i have started to reaserch on some good NGO as i have always had inclination towards providing community service.We have a family blind children school with strength of 20 kids who are taken care as a whole but now i am thinking to be a part some good NGO which can provide me a platform for community service at a braoder level.
->I am already a part of some my own ventures.
->I am also thinking to attend all the college fest that happen during this time to get in depth knowledge of universities courses and get in touch with the alumini of the targeted college to get some inputs from them.
Other things which can be a add-on are
-> Switch my job to find some place where i can get more oppurtunities and also try to get into some brands like (Google , Amazon etc)
-> Be a part of toastmasters for developing my communication and leadership skills.
Hey Abhiyank,
Let's go through your ideas one by one
Guitar - although lovely, because people need to have passions, this won't help your Bschool application (it's always good to do SOMETHING though)
NGO - See what you can do. The BEST NGOs are 1. Global 2. One where you can take a leadership post 3. Ones where you deal with a lot of money.
Ventures - I don't know exactly what you have here, but if one of them can be really successful this can help a LOT. Maybe better to concentrate on one thing rather than ten!
College Fest - By all means! A VERY good idea. Won't help your application, but will help you get informed!
Job switching - if you can get a better post at a bigger company, this by all means, helps, more than anything else.
Toastmasters is a good idea - but do something else too. Too many people have toastmasters on their resume,
Hope this helps!!
