I wish to mention learnings from the coupious time i spend on learning online privacy ,security and anonymity for my b school (MBA) admissions interview. Can I market is as a cybersecurity internship. But Cyber security has a different meaning altogether. I’m pretty much at the advance stage of the privacy journey( read all prominent books, understand techlore and others in the privacy community. Help me structure a pitch around it.
Generally speaking, that’s considered a passion, not experience. That can be leveraged in interviews, but you generally want to focus on more concrete accomplishments and activities.
Personal privacy practices are also far different from business related concerns and cybersecurity, as you’ve said.
Unless you’re willing to lie on your admissions, don’t list it as an internship. That has a specific meaning that “self-led obsession/hobby in my own time” doesn’t come anywhere close to fitting. They will likely expect there to be a company they can reach out to so they can confirm when the internship occurred.
If you get caught lying on admissions paperwork, that tends to be a pretty immediate route to expulsion.
This is an independent research project of yours in which you can write a summary of your findings with citations using a standardized formatting. Make sure you relate your findings to business administration in some way. If you do a good job with it you might stand out as exceptional.
