Scholarship / I can use my previous multinational/cultural networking experience to merge with Chevening community [4]

Thank you for your reply i will work on the adjustments immediately.
Here are the rest of my essays waiting for your opinion about them.

Studying in the UK Question :

Accounting has been my passion ever since I took my 1st accounting class during my 1st year of university and that passion extended to my 3rd year where I chose Accounting as my major , further more to my graduation project where i led a research about the difference between theoretical accounting and practical accounting;( as a fresh accounting student I wanted to know the nature of the field and career I liked) where I established a research plan and I conducted a questionnaire in one of the leading companies in Sudan to help me get different point of views coming from different experiences about the importance of accounting practical experience in comparison to theoretical knowledge . Continued until my graduation (choosing accounting as a major included).

After graduation, I couldn't wait until I find a job in my field so I decided to give myself a chance to try different fields because I deeply believe that all business administration fields are interconnected to each other, so I went on trying different ones.

During my previous experiences- trying Sales, Marketing & Customer Services as I learned a lot of new things; I was able to do each & every one of my previous internships/ jobs in a professional and efficient manner. Getting the different experiences, only assured me and made me realize that Accounting & Banking are the fields I want to proceed; out of all the jobs I had I am enjoying my current job as an Accountant the most. I enjoy the challenge it gives me, the focus it requires of me & I work 12 hours a day without feeling the need to stop.

Ever since I realized that, I started putting all my focus into accounting; started studying and preparing for my CMA (Certified Managerial Accountant), through taking the prep course for the first part exam, which I'm planning to take in January, 2016 and for the second part in May, 2016. I also started interviewing for accounting jobs until I got my current job. What I learned from the survey I conducted for my graduation project was what builds a good accountant is the coherent consistent relationship between good basic knowledge of accounting theories, ethics and standards in solidarity with the continuous practice.

Due to all of the aforementioned, I have chosen to apply for the Banking & Finance (charted Banker) because it will equip me for career promotion and employment in financial sector. And also chosen the international / accounting and finance MSc courses because it will provide me with a solid platform of specific subject knowledge alongside a set of highly valuable transferable employability skills and due to its accreditation by the ACCA ; I will be awarded exemptions from certain papers of ACCA examination which am planning to take in the future.

I have selected my three chosen university courses because of their high ranking among global higher education institutions.

Career plan Question :

I believe in the power of education and the important role academics play in the development of oneself and their communities as a whole.
Accounting is my passion, my career goal is to have my own accounting and finance consultancy in Sudan. In order to achieve that goal I need to have a balanced mixture between academic and work experiences. For the academics part, I intend to get the best post graduation credentials through obtaining my masters degree from the UK, which the chevening (if accepted) will provide me with. Hence, the masters represent the foundation and the work represents the building blocks in order to achieve my goal. The Chevening will also provide me with the chance I have worked so hardly to attain and will provide me with the platform I need in order to achieve my career goal.

I have always had a dream to build something that helps eliminate poverty in my country. I believe that a project like this can serve my country best in terms of improvement and development. The project is to establish a charity institution that will provide a number of services for people in need; this institution will work in coordination's with different sectors: education, health, provision of food supplies, and provision of shelters for the homeless. Education development plan is; establishing agreements between my institution and the ministry of higher education in Sudan to provide under and post grad scholarships for students, this scholarship serves two goals: motivating students to get higher grades to earn the scholarship, and giving them the best education needed funded by the scholarship. Health support plan: provision of health insurance that can also be done through agreements with insurance companies and ministry of health to provide health insurance policy that guarantees best health care for elder and people in need. All other aspects will be carried out the same way. What links my dream to my project is that I will allocate a fixed portion of my accounting consultancy profits for charity (funding my project) and community services.

The globally good repetition of the Chevening scholarships has inspired me, I aspire that one day my project can reach the same level of excellence and creditability that chevening has, although I realize that this requires a great effort not only from me as a project leader but also from the youth, community and government in Sudan. I try to be realistic and understanding of all the current and future challenges my project might face but am also optimistic and ambitious that with my ambition and determination nothing is unachievable.

looking forward for your reply

Scholarship / I can use my previous multinational/cultural networking experience to merge with Chevening community [4]

Chevening is looking for individuals with good networking skills...:

Networking is a fundamental building block in society development: through sharing, suggesting, and exchanging different ideas and opinions that can help development and improvement of one self and the society as a whole.

My first networking skills arose when I was chosen by my university to join the organizing committee of a Medical conference named the Pan Arab Society of Pediatric, Gastroenterology, Hematology and Nutrition conference held in Sudan during 2012

The conference was initiated, hosted and attended by a large group Of Doctors from different nationalities and different backgrounds. Being assigned as a coordinator of the registration team registering the Doctors coming from abroad for speaking and/ or attending the conference besides arranging their accommodation and transport; gave me the confidence to deal with the different nationalities more freely having no doubts about my good communication skills and also gave me the chance to develop and improve these skills.

My second experience that served best enhancing and reinforcing my networking skills was when I started working at Abu Dhabi National Bank - Sudan Branch as a one month intern. Two weeks into the job, I was offered under-job training in the Customer Services Department. I started out with simple responsibilities, i.e. handling the Electronic Cheques Clearing (ECC), handling the day-to-day customers' operations, requests & complaints, the process of issuing & renewing ATM cards & cheque books. After finishing my first month, the department manager called me into a meeting with a big client and told me that the client asked for me to handle his account. After the meeting was over, my manager told me that he was going to test me and assigned me with two other big accounts. After another month, I was handling some of the biggest accounts we had in the branch. When I asked my manager of the reason, why he decided to handle me this responsibility he said because I was the most social employee working in that branch. His answer motivated me to focus more, build more relationships and learn how to put these relationships into good use.

During my time at the bank I met a lot of people also coming from different nationalities and societies, communicating with them was a great challenge and that was when I believed in my good networking skills as I was able to deal with them perfectly & efficiently and they reported satisfaction of my services. And I wish to use my skills to help me precede my future career goal.

I used my networking skills and good relationships with clients as a search engine for accounting jobs and started interviewing immediately, that's how I got my current job...!

Chevening community integrates people from different countries and cultures, these people are chosen with specific chevening standards to fit perfectly into its community and to be the future leaders, engaging with this community will help me expand my perceptions and I can use my previous multinational / cultural networking experience to merge with these people perfectly.

Scholarship / Coordinating people, communicating, sharing ideas and motivating to achieve the desired goal [3]

Hey there,
Am applying for the Chevening Scholarship 2016-2017 and the deadline is approaching. am almost done with my application but i need feed back on my essay question answers; hope to your feed back shortly.

I have always believed that being a leader is not merely the act of leading and directing a group of people; it's more about coordinating with people, communicating, sharing ideas and motivating the group to achieve the desired goal. I personally believe that I work best when given the independence to share my opinions, include my own ideas in the plan and be responsible of the execution.

My first leadership experience was during the Summer of 2013, I started working in Balance General Trading company in Sudan; I first joined with a one month contract to do a specific task; renewing contractual agreements between the company and the distributors. Throughout my period, my leadership skills shined through, leading them to extending my contract to a full time employment for the rest of my summer break (4 months) as a Contracting Specialist & Indoor Sales Representative.

During the four months, the management saw fit to promote me to a Sales Administrator. As a Sales Administrator, my job was to take the responsibilities of maintaining a good relationship with customers, supervising outdoor sales representatives as well as managing the indoor sales representatives inside the showroom.

During the period i administered the sales department, my team and i succeeded in increasing the number of contractual agreements between our company and the distributors, by attracting and convincing new clients to join: Leading to an increase in the overall performance and net profit of the Company.

What makes a leader is the deep rooted commitment and adherence to take the responsibilities & get the required work done properly in order to lead his/ her team to achieve their goal strategically.

What I learned from my experience in balance is a leader is neither a delegated title nor a description of a position held by someone:

A leader is someone who demonstrates the characteristics, dedication and potentials of an influence.
