If I spend most of my time doing all sorts of different things, from dancing to running marathon, dancing, clubbing etc. Because, at the end of the day it comes to your shared interests with your interview and your interpersonal skills. If you have done as many different as you can, you will have more "reference points" for the interview to connect to the interviewer. According to this article. If you place yourself more in the social situations to really get your interpersonal skills sorted and don't put too much attention on the technical skills you might need for a job, surely an interviewer, has a higher chance of hiring you. Instead of locking yourself in a library and really master a technical subject but don't have any interpersonal skills. Being the latter, I just feel like wasting my time learning programming or learning engineering or any technical subjects because at the end of the day it comes back down to how good my interpersonal skills are than my technical skills to find a job.
