You made mention the words count and it's words seen in the essay section, but in typing it rather 200 characters not words, for those to apply should consider that

[@engmaalin1103]

200 words should be minimum sir..

[@ednarajab4637]

It's actually 2000 Characters

[@habibajunaid6376]

Please is there any opening for Mass Communication?

[@MICHAELAGYENIM]

In a section of the Mastercard application, you are asked to indicate if you are employed. Currently, I am not formally employed, but I work for a company on a contract basis. There was no written agreement, only a verbal one, as I was called immediately after completing my national service in Ghana. The company has fulfilled their part of the arrangement, but my income varies based on the number of contracts I receive. Should I mark myself as employed, or leave that section blank?

I believe so, just express your interest. If you have been active in the data science field, maybe by taking courses, then it's a plus.
