Note that cclu’s advice is good in general but irrelevant for the Citi MTVu card because Househould Income (HHI) is not taken into consideration on the application.

I’d also warn not to put your parent’s name as your job because if you are subject to financial review for whatever reason, they will probably drop you based on this. If you run a website, work for someone, are working for someone over the summer before you go to school then list that job. If you are work-study list your employer as your University and your job as something general like Research Assitant, Administrative Assitant, Information Specialist, Information Technologist, etc. Don’t put 100k+ for HHI unless your family does bring that much home.
