Banking society on CV as a first year

Hello,

Since spring week applications are starting to open in the UK for first years, I was wondering whether I should put my membership of the banking & finance society on my CV in the extracurriculars section. I'm leaning towards doing so, but without any bullet points below. Reason being, I've just joined the society and the uni.

I appreciate any help!

Including your membership in the Banking & Finance Society on your CV is a good idea, especially as a first-year student applying for spring weeks. Based on the most helpful WSO content, extracurricular activities like this can help demonstrate your interest in finance and show that you're taking steps to engage with the industry early on.

Since you've just joined and don't have specific contributions or roles yet, listing it without bullet points under the extracurriculars section is perfectly fine. As you gain more involvement or take on responsibilities within the society, you can update your CV to reflect those achievements.

I’d include it for now, but keep it to one line since you’ve just joined. Once you actually contribute to the society, replace it with a bullet showing what you did
