Got Fired From a University Board

I'm a student at a university. I was on the exec board for a club focused on educating kids from the community - although the uni is nice the area around is not. Was informed via zoom that they were firing the whole exec board minus the pres and co-head. Worst of all, the pres is an accounting major headed to big 4 and the co-head is some marketing tool. Wasted so much time during recruiting cycle last year on this club and I am left out looking like a clown. 

Just wanted to share my sour grapes.

Yikes sorry for your experiences OP, but at least you learned some skills while in that board right? May you have a better life soon.

 
Funniest

Its easier to just to make up extracurriculars.  Last time someone asked about them I said I was the leader of the catholic club on campus.  Think I need to go to confession after that one

 

"Wasted so much time during recruiting cycle last year on this club and I am left out looking like a clown. "

That made me laugh man.

Dude I was allegedly the "Chair of the finance society" (Finance society? at my tier 300 university? yeah right), "Vice chair of the raising and giving society" (this one existed, but I didnt know about it while I was there and I sure as hell wouldnt hang around with those dorks), "Captain of the football team" (yeah fucking right I aint played in years bitch).

joking aside, you can still talk about your exp. im looking at joining a charity as a trustee atm I just cant be fucked applying. im thinking about paying someone on fiverr to compose my covering letter.

 

I know your right, but deep down I always wanted to a high school teacher. Failing as a club exec board (overseeing education development) - as funny as that is - still sucks. At least right now. Maybe time will help
