[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, one of the things that consistently has impressed recruiters and future employers has been my history as a competitive tennis player, which I also did on my college team.  It has said more about me than getting good grades with the level IQ I have has ever said, since the expectation was I'd get good grades.  The competitive drive to win is something employers want to see, more than just good grades by studying for hours on end.

I suppose this depends on the type of profession. My first job was a faculty position in a technical area at a state university. No one inquired about my athletic background at the interview. As I said, the search committee was manly interested in my academic and research work and, perhaps, my personality. Years later, when I was in a position to recruit new faculty, I would look for talented and hard-working individuals with the potential to become experts in their field of study. Perhaps academia is unique in this respect.[/quote]
