[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 220549, member: 36777"] I agree this suggests they are not looking for you to discuss general extracurriculars, but I would argue that including positions of significant responsibility which involved (i) recurring tasks that took up significant portions of your time; and (ii) other people in an organisation relying on you delivering on said tasks comes close enough to work experience in its features that you cold classify it as "Work experience - unpaid". At the very least it seems to me such roles have to be considered as sitting in a grey area between extracurriculars and work, and as such I would not expect a recruiter to take issue with you mentioning it. Thus, I think you should still be able to include experiences like roles in a university society. [/QUOTE]
