What kind of online presence? Blog of some sort?

Taking initiative at work is starting an organization, changing the way something is done, redesigning a process, leading a recruiting team, creating a mentorship program or speakers series where senior leaders engage with junior resources.

Accounting and finance are certainly great to have. To demonstrate analytical experience, what have you done at work or outside that required analysis, critical thinking, modeling/projecting, analyzing research etc?

If you have other questions about positioning yourself well, send me a note scott@personalmbacoach.com or visit my site www.personalmbacoach.com to read more about how I can help.

Good luck!

Yes a blog, but mores focusing on key events/moments with an opinion, updated regularly. But It can also be for career advice to African students (where I hail from).

That's much clearer now, thanks. In terms of Engaged Community Citizenship, what exactly are they looking for here, and how would they go about assessing this objectively?

Also, are the examples I gave pretty much what they mean when they say "Habit of Leadership" and "Analytical aptitude"

Yes your examples are pretty good. In terms of how they assess, they look at the impact of what you have done. So how involved are you in a particular activity and what happened because of your work? What is your role and how did (fill in the blank) change because of your work?

The applicant who can answer those questions well has been engaged with the community.
