Abstract/Summary
The research explored the extent of the effect, if any, of involvement in extra-curricular activities on the employability and employment-seeking success of De La Salle University graduates. Common belief is that involvement in these activities increases ones marketability and propensity to be hired. Using convenience and snowball sampling, the researchers surveyed 50 Business Management graduates to determine their involvement in extra-curricular activities and their transition to the labor market. Through this, the study determined that there were no significant differences between the means of the active and inactive group in terms of number of interviews, unemployment time, and number of offers, salary level, and occupational status. Moreover, the study did not find-extra-curricular activities to be a predictor of the measures of employability and employment-seeking success. From the point of view of students, this dispels the myth surrounding the impact of extra-curricular activities.
