Do you have to be president/vice president or any club/organization for it to be worthy to put on your application or for it to look like "real" leadership experience? I've been on the executive board for a few clubs on campus but I'm not sure how much of an impact these leadership positions make:
- Publicity Chair for Pre-med society (1 semester), promote events of club
- Peer Leader (1 year) - peer advisor for group of freshmen throughout their 1st year and helped lead orientation events
- Service Chair for a racial identities group (ongoing) - everyone on the board works together and shares tasks but this is the title I have
- Associate Acquisitions Editor for an undergrad science journal (ongoing) - contact professors, department chairs, students about the journal, editor
I'm also a "Project Leader" for one of the events at a place I volunteer at, but I don't know if this counts as leadership.
Should I try to get some leadership positions with more responsibilities?
When it comes time to applying, should I list all of them as leadership anyway since I was elected to serve on the executive board for each?
Thanks in advance!
