Bump this is kind of a cool question and I really need the help.
Please? I really would like some feedback.
...what?
I know it's weird man, but in developing countries honestly anything goes.
I don't think you should put this on your resume because it might come off as any one (or all of the following): * exaggerating the truth * trolling * typo * straight up lying
I DO THINK that it would be okay to bring it up and MAKE IT CLEAR that you don't really have any responsibilities, but you are exposed to the big boy table, even if you are just observing. On the other hand, it might backfire if this makes them perceive you as some spoiled rich brat.
^^Just some of my thoughts.
Ok so not on resume, maybe bring it up in the interview? I guess that was kinda what I was leaning towards anyways but I just thought it could maybe help my resume get noticed. Could I just put in something small about it though on my resume? I don't even know where I'd put it either but somewhere.
Put this resume but only under your "personal section" and keep it brief. Just say something like: "Elected to board of directors of family owned chemical company as a non-voting member."
However this is an exceptional story to bring up during interviews and can definitely be leveraged to get yourself an offer because:
You are actually worth knowing in terms of a bank wanting to get business. I know it might sound scummy but I have known people who have gotten internships because the bank is interested in doing business with their family's business.
You have a very differentiated experience. How many students get that kind of opportunity? Be careful though, you need to broach this topic humbly. You can discuss this in a non-nonchalant manner, explain how you still want to go to school to learn and to prove yourself on your own merit, not your family's. And also explain how its been an exceptional learning opportunity and how it has inspired you to learn more about business and finance.
