<p>In part 2 of the application, there's this section: "Employment (including summer). List your most recent job first."</p>
<p>Recently I started my own online business, can I write that there?</p>
<p>I don’t see why not, but think about how big/small it is and if it’s worth adding.</p>
<p>same situation here,
we are going write “myself” under the “employer” ?

<p>You might want to write about this in a supplement, or elsewhere in the application, where you can better explain your motivations, show your organizational skills and entrepreneurship, etc. I believe MIT is looking for these qualities (who wouldn’t be) and if you can highlight them it’ll be helpful.</p>
