Freshman Resume Work Experience and a situation...

Hi there :)

I'm currently a Freshman working on my resume because many firms in my area require it as well as some boot camps I am applying to.

However, I really don't have any relevant work experience to place on my resume. :(

I am currently involved in Finance related clubs like the Student Investment Club at my school, etc..

Could I include the clubs instead of work expericene, since I have none?

Also, I cold-called a PE firm in my hometown, and they said to call back in January, because they haven't started searching for interns as of yet. Is this possible? I thought firms started recruting earlier this month. Is this their way of telling me to fuck-off?

Thank you, xxkdjxx.
