Hi,
So I am a re-applicant and already graduated with a BS degree in 2016. I am applying for the 2018-2019 cycle and was wondering if I should include working for a tobacco company on my application, since that's what I have been doing for the majority of my time out of school (it was the only job I could get after applying to 200+ places, and I have to pay bills). I work in the regulations department and mostly deal with making sure products are following current FDA rulings. I don't promote smoking nor do I smoke, but I was wondering if this would hinder my application or would excluding it cause institutions to believe I did nothing in my time off. I also do medical volunteering and community service in my free time to keep increasing my clinical experience. Any thoughts?
