anything if you are talking locally

Anything in which you can have a positive impact on other people (e.g. i talked about being a tennis coach for kids or how i helped the organizational structuring of an association of +50 people)

Always wondered if I should write about my political experience. I have family in politics with immediate family members being in senate/parliament back home(South Asia). Have good experience in electoral campaigns , rallies & social work.

It’s valuable life experience. It can backfire if your reviewer is unsympathetic to your ideology 🤷

I would really appreciate some suggestions for roles that I should be applying for. I recently started my MBA though I'm still having trouble landing interviews and think I should be applying for different roles than I have been. My MBA concentration is global business, my BS was in management with a minor in professional writing. I've been working in cosmetics mainly on the customer service side, currently senior support for the CS team and have experience doing CS on social media.
