<p>Don’t make the mistake of thinking that involvement in silly clubs that only exist for the purpose of application/resume fodder will impress anyone. The VAST majority of applicants participate in such organizations, so your participation in them will not, by any means, make you stand out. My advice to you is put yourself in the shoes of the person that will be reading your application. What do you have to offer that makes you different from the thousands of other highly qualified applicants? If you can answer that question, then you’re in good shape.</p>
