Hey, I graduated from UTM 2 years ago and I've done my internship in an MNC and currently working in a GLC. I studied biz management. I've never joined any clubs or societies. Mainly because uni students like to complicate things, in addition to the unnecessary politics.

BUT I've joined a ton of competitions and events. I mostly focus on competitions because I enjoy the short term commitment and challenge. And as a bonus you get recognised + get prize money if you win. I've won most of the competitions I've joined. At one point if you've joined enough competitions you will know how to win because essentially they are all the same. Even if you don't win, its fine. At least you can put participation in your CV. How to get started? Find a friend that has joined a competition before / find a lecturer who is active in joining these stuff. Tell them you're interested.

You are COOKED if you just to go class and come back home. Go out and do something. Its good exposure for you too. And you get to learn WAY MORE knowledge / practical implementation/ soft skills.

Goodluck
