Advice on Leadership Activities in School and Career

Dear Jarus,I am an ardent reader of your website and really appreciate every piece of advice you have given. It has helped a lot on shaping certain decisions I have made and obviously made me better. I hope on sending a proper appreciation mail.The main purpose for this mail. I am a 19-year-old economics student, 300 level, in a well respected federal university. I already started ACCA and I’m in the skills level. I hope on going into auditing as a career in one of the big four (KPMG to be precised) but I am kind of introverted. Not like I dislike leadership, I really love it but I don’t want to be involved in school politics as I do not find interesting. I’ve read on your blog that leadership in school helps in building a career.My questions are:1)Can my personality affect my career choice and me being selected for a job in my career field?2)Is there any other skill or activity i can do to be more employable?I do not want to seem like someone who cannot lead people. I am a fluent,bold and good communicator and a great team player. I plan on joining an organization (AIESEC) for personal purpose though but does that help.If it matters I am a female.Your answers will be well appreciated.Thank you sir.Janet
