What is your favorite subject and why?Since Grade 7, Economics has been my favorite among all the other subjects. I was very fascinated to discover how I am implementing the principles of economics in my daily life. Basically, it is a very important subject because it helps me to understand many human interactions like production and sale of goods and services. It is also a dynamic and interesting subject that will expand my understanding of the world as well as my reasoning and problem solving abilities. Moreover, economics is closely connected with vital subjects like sociology, politics, business studies, mathematics, psychology and history.
Why are you interested in this program?CO-OP Management is interactive, challenging, interesting and practical which will enable me to know how people think and act in the workplace and, thus, assist me to become a better leader. As management analyses the administration of business, it will equip me well to operate skillfully as a manager in today's rapidly changing world along with increased globalization. In addition to management, this program also gives a firm base on Economics and also includes co-operative option, which will allow me to apply the theories in work-related situations as well as earn excellent salary simultaneously.
What experiences and skills might you bring to this field?I have been engaged in a couple of activities to broaden my horizon and gain a competitive edge in my business career. I registered in Acid Survivors Foundation to participate in various projects. The important things that I learned there are completing tasks before the deadline and business ethics, which will immensely benefit me in my professional career. As I am planning to setup a company in Canada, I started learning French because this language will help me to diversify and target a greater segment of customers whose mother tongue is French.
This question is based on volunteer service.
Describe in more details the responsibilities and skills you developed.I developed several skills as I enrolled in Acid Survivors Foundation for six months. I worked with several projects to create awareness about acid violence. I had to call various donor organizations, individuals and media partners to update addresses and contact details before any events like press conferences and other presentations. This greatly enhanced my knowledge of communication and demonstration skills. Then, with the help of other voluntary members, I have send letters to the affiliated partners and stalk holders. This helped me to learn the vital skills of teamwork and collaboration, which are highly emphasized in business jobs.
Describe any awards or recognitions you received based on your ECA.I received a certificate of participation for performing in a cultural program called 'Ekushe Program' held in February last year. This program was arranged in memory of 21st February, which is a very important day for our nation because, in 1952, many lives were sacrificed in this day to establish Bengali as our mother tongue. Moreover, it is recognized as "International Mother Language Day" in 17th November 1999 in the 30th General meeting of UNESCO. In this program, I recited a few verses in the beginning and, later, joined the national anthem to mark the end of the program.
Thank u all
Have a nice day :)
