I prepared these guidelines as a reference for you guys. You do not have to follow if you disagree with

it.

I believe there's a bit of confusion between the rational of attaining a 100% campus participation and the prospect of securing a 'good' internship. Firstly, how do u define a good internship? 1 that is slack? 1 that pays well? 1 that is tough so that it challenges you? Its subjective.

Also, I don't believe that you have to blindly show your presence in everything just for the sake of doing so. i, for one, never attended every event. Ironically, showing disinterest when participating just reiterate to everyone that you have a poor attitude and are incapable of greater responsibilities.  What really counts, is the attitude you take and how you could add value to the activity and organization. The same mindset applies when you are doing your internship or just about any endeavor that you may embark on.

I feel that these tips will help you and give you an edge, but it does not guarantee that you will get what you want. if you find this useful, by all means, use it! Just don't use it wholesale, tailor it to showcase your unique traits and play down your weaknesses :)

The Worst Mistake You Can Make On Your Resume

Fact: Job hunters obsess about resumes. Who wouldn't? There's so much to get right--functional versus chronological, objective statements (pro and con), key words, templates, references, font size, white space, action verbs, employment gaps, placement and style of bullets, typos, and whether to include hobbies (probably a "no" on that last one).
So much, in fact, that we often forget the most important ingredient of a really great, interview-obtaining, new-job-snagging resume: It needs to be written specifically for the job you're after.
Does that mean you have to do a new resume for every single position you apply for? Yes, that's exactly what it means.
