[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 142955, member: 2672"] Any extra curriculars will bring value to your CV. It is more about the impact you have in these roles rather than what the role is that is more interesting to recruiters anyway. Do the extracurriculars you are genuinely interested in. Please do not do things just because you think they might make your CV/application look better - it’s far more interesting reading an application from someone who enthuses about the things they have done and can really sell their personal impact in a role because they have been invested into the opportunity. Executive positions on student societies or clubs are just one way of potentially showing your skills. But for plenty of others they will demonstrate the same abilities and aptitudes through other activities - it doesn’t always need to be a leadership position. [/QUOTE]
