Toastmasters?

I know investment banking requires very good oral and written communication skills. I'm part of an organization known as Toastmasters. Its essentially a club that meets once every week and members engage in a variety of speaking activities. Its fun and you can directly and indirectly improve speaking ability, especially in front of a small crowd.

I'm wondering if anyone here is a Toastmaster, and if it really stuck out on your resume. It is an international organization and its been around since 1924. So, no its not just something local. Even if you never heard of it, I suggest you guys try it out.

Yes, unless the time you put into it will detract from something more important.

Also keep in mind that the culture and quality of different clubs can vary dramatically. Visit two or three before you commit to joining.
