Adcoms don’t really care about what kind of work you’ve done. They care about the IMPACT of said work. And how it plays into your overall story.

Yeah that’s the struggle of a first year project. Do you best to make an impact outside of PmO work, every analyst has PMO experience. Take point on key milestones of a work stream. Eventually, lead a work stream. Long term, juggle multiple work streams and run PMO

Absolutely not. Differentiate yourself in other ways.

Also, don’t true too hard. Be yourself.
