Hi Sristi !
Well, let me answer your query. Your extracurricular activities do make an impression and it makes sense to include them in your resume. But our challenge is to make best use of the space available on a single page to 'fit' everything.
It breaks my heart when I see 4 page resume with lot of space 'wasted'. Can we come up with a template which has space for academic achievements, extracurricular activities, projects(/work ex.), contact address etc. Now one may ask what's wrong if we use two pages. Well nothing wrong, but why not try to get it in a single page? I hope I'm making sense here
So I hope, people join in for this challenge and come up with a template that is 1-page and cover-it-all type. Say what? Interesting?
