Im looking for an edge

Hello all,

Having read the forum for a while now , the standard theme seems to be a high number of talented people going for that very rare job at the end of a very expensive tunnel. I, like thousands of others, have wanted to fly sice I was a small child and its my dream. ( please keep reading, im not going to ask the standard "how do i get there?" question) Ive done an RAF flying Scholarship and was with the UAS so again , as many others , have the flying bug.

My long winded intoduction brings me to my point. What "activities" do I need to start doing now, in order to give me an edge over all of the other guys? Given that we will all have the same/similar flying qualifications and similar exam results. What specific "extra curricular" activities, if any, will make me stand out. Im doing Charity work , sport and the usually bumf but would a management course or business course be of any use to me? Specific examples would be much appreciated. I am just looking to plan ahead so if I ever get an interview, I have a little something extra to offer.

Thanks in advance
