With so many responsibilities, and between a job, assignments and all other commitments there just does not seem to be any time left to dedicate to student leadership.
How does being a student officer or student president help your resume?
You get more practice
As a student leader, you get to practice organizational skills and life skills. These are essential in any business.

You get to be more aggressive
As a student president, it is your duty to ensure that the rights of students are protected and that their demands are taken through the right channels.
It is your duty to ensure that there is a great relationship between students and the administration. This is essentially what businesses are all about.
If you are a student officer, an employer will see that you have great potential to unite the leaders of an organization and their workers. In case of any problems, the organization knows it can trust you to calm their employees down until a solution is found.
You get diversity
Organizations are looking for people who are diverse – people who can deal well with people from other cultures and ethnicities. These groups of people are who you will be meeting in your line as a leader.
Students come from all walks of life and from everywhere in the world. Learning how different people respond to situations and what kind of language they find offensive – this will help you develop your skills in the presentation and implementation of ideas.
