what's a cheap leadership position?

<p>I need leadership experience to distinguish myself to job recruiters. But I basically don't have the time. Leadership positions are often a lot of commitment and work. I'm a chem e major. What are some leadership positions that aren't a lot of work and will make me look good on a resume?</p>

<p>None.</p>

<p>If you can’t even muster up the dedication to work up a little more free time to do something you genuinely care about, you’re not a leader.</p>

<p>You could find and lead a student organization called “lazy-asses unite.”</p>

<p>can someone tell me how much weight leadership has when it comes to getting co-op/internship? as oppose to GPA, courseload, etc?</p>

<p>Is mentoring or tutoring considered a leadership position? Because I actually enjoy helping people learn stuff. Plus it’s not a lot of work, and I can say that I’ve contributed to the community when I run into something on an application.</p>

<p>P.S. I’m actually very busy with classes, work, and ultimate frisbee. Before I add something else to my agenda, I have to really know what I’m dealing with so my GPA doesn’t sink like a stone.</p>

<p>That could be considered leadership. </p>

<p>I would recommend starting a tutoring service. Just taking the initiative to set up and keep appointments with your clients shows good time management skills (a key component of leadership) and organization. When people say “leadership”, you don’t have to assume that it has to be this big, dramatic thing like “President of Model UN” or “Emperor of all the World”. It doesn’t. Just managing a small group (or even just yourself) that shows responsibility, time management, and maturity should be enough.</p>

<p>“If you can’t even muster up the dedication to work up a little more free time to do something you genuinely care about, you’re not a leader.”</p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>Anyway, I think he was asking about how he can seem like he has had some leadership position, so he can look good for recruiters, not actually how to get any real leadership experience. I guess I’d like to see an answer too.</p>

<p>This type of attitude was just covered in the article posted in the generation thread. You want success and you want a high position, but you don’t want to work for it. Typical.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure everyone has wanted this regardless of what generation they’re from, it just might have not been as possible to do before as it is now.</p>

<p>Or, more likely, we didn’t have the Internet to help us see this. Before the Net, if someone had this question they wouldn’t be able to ask total strangers from all over the country for “help” and no one would have to know about it. :D</p>

<p>Yeah, probably something like that.</p>

<p>tutoring, cool guys. thanks for all the help…</p>
