Questions and Advice on Gap Year Job

Hello Everyone,
 
I’ve got a question that I’ve really been struggling with and I’m really not sure of the answer. Just for reference, I got rejected from UBC this year with a score of 48 and NAQ of 50-74.99 percentile, so I’m really trying to do activities that will allow my NAQ to push my score over the threshold for next year.
 
I’m currently working as an MOA at a specialists office, but I have just been offered a new job as an ophthalmic technician. The technician position is definitely more hands-on with patients, but I have been working as an MOA for the last 6 months, and it still is somewhat hands on doing EKG’s, vitals etc.
 
Honestly, I’m pretty much solely working these positions to help my application, so with that in mind, which position do you all think would help my application the most?
 
The reason I’m struggling as bad as I am is I believe the weakest point of my NAQ’s is that I don’t have any long-term volunteer/employment activities, since I moved around a lot, and staying at the MOA position would give me a longer term employment. I have been volunteering at the same places for the past 9 months and will continue to do so, so I will at least have long-term volunteering on my app next year.
