Hello,
Can someone explain what counts as personal history? I want to be complete, not just account for potential gaps. For example, my husband and I both taught at our universities when we were students. This was part of our education programs, but we did get paid. Do we give a distinct entry for this in the application?
Also, what about organizations we have "supported"? We have both given money to wikipedia, and various non profits over the past 10 years. I'm not even sure I remember all the orgs I have donated to! Are we expected to account for all the times we have supported organizations with little sums of money?
Finally, I have had periods of unemployment in which I did residential meditation retreats. These were not international trips. I'm not sure if this is something I need to list or not, and if I did, would this be an "organization" that I list as overlapping with unemployment?
Many thanks!
