There are a number of applications that request you list your awards and certifications. I have been quite active, but have virtually no actual awards.
Specifically, Wharton asks "List the most significant college, university, community and professional awards, honors or scholarships you have received."
I was thinking of taking a different approach to this question and thinking outside of the box. For example, in mentoring troubled high school students, seeing them get their diploma was my greatest award (better articulated, of course), etc.
I acknowledge this could be a bit risky, but without anything else to fill in that space, I would like some professional advice on whether its a clear red flag or perhaps I should go for it? Thanks!
