FRESHMEN what the hell I am supposed to do
I am a freshmen at columbia.....What extracurricular activities are good to build resume? What are things I can do to impress recruiters for internships? Primarily in the sales and trade.
I don't mean to offend but I hate this question. Do whatever you want, extracurriculars are meant to reflect your personality. You can really tell whether they are truly passionate or not when students talk about their activities.
Read the WSJ and follow the markets. Demonstrating a knowledge of current financial events will go far to impress recruiters at this early stage.
It's a sad day when people have to ask, "What should I do for fun to impress my future employer?" Don't be a tool - get involved in one finance-based club (investment club or something works fine) and then for the rest, pick whatever you want. Whether that's intramurals or a frat or a musical theatre group. It doesn't matter; extracurriculars are for 1) displaying leadership, and 2) proving that you're not a mindless robot that follows the finance hivemind. Just get some leadership experience - it can be fundraising for a charity or being the Pledge Educator at your frat, doesn't matter.
Join a fraternity.
