Scholarship / Chevening networking essay : networking helped me secure my first job [2]

Hello , this is my first draft for my Chevening networking essay , I would highly appreciate it if you could possibly help me out both content and grammatical wise .

The importance of networking skills became evident when I was still a student at the university .With the support of one of my connections I was able to secure my first and current job in a leading multinational pharmaceutical company . When it comes to networking I'm strongly committed to creating new connections and maintaining them as I believe this is highly essential in achieving success in terms of both personal growth and climbing the career ladder.

In my senior year studying to become a pharmacist I enrolled in the seminar in pharmaceutics & pharmaceutical technology , I choose to conduct my seminar on the quality control department in order to shed the light on their role within the pharmaceutical companies. With the aim of representing my seminar at the highest level of professionalism and transparency , I took the initiative in re-connecting with the QC department that I had met earlier at Hikma Pharmaceuticals during a field trip organized by our faculty . Contacting them not only made my seminar very successful and distinguished but also and most importantly I had the opportunity to further tighten my relationship particularly with one member of the QC team forming a solid relationship , this was very helpful as I turned to this member shortly after graduation who thankfully was very supportive in informing me about vacancies and passing my CV to the regulatory affairs management , briefly afterwords I earned an interview and eventually became an employee at Hikma Pharmaceutical .

It's Through hardships that greatness is born , as a new regulatory affairs officer in the company I was still getting used to my assigned duties , which aims to make sure that our products comply with authorities regulations and maintain marketing license while ensuring complying with shipping regulations , Unfortunately at that time we had big issues in shipping to Sudanese Market due to allegedly non complying packages costing the company huge loss accounts for about 16 million dollars , in addition my teammate who was responsible for the this Market had transferred to another department leaving an important role that I had to fill in . It was quite hard at first and daunting , but With one thought in mind determined to succeed along with all the encouragement and motivation from my manager I managed to create a data base in creating to organizing shipping issues , working hand in hand with purchasing and design we managed the issue and succeeded to control , after that I saw the importance in sharing my experience in handling shipping issues with my Teammates and without being asked to I arranged for a training session for the whole team as I believe that part of leadership resides in sharing knowledge and providing support for your colleagues .

Due to the success that I have demonstrated handling shipping issues previously , our senior management decided to hand me a highly rated project " packaging unification across MENA" , that would minimize costs , errors enhancing the overall packaging process for our products through having a unified packaging for every product across the various MENA destinations , this proved to be tricky since every country has unique regulations . I was the project leader leading 10 of my teammates despite having no formal authority, the major obstacle that I faced was that regulations differs between countries and in order to deal with this problem I decided to split the team into three regions ( Africa , Gcc , LEVANT) and asked them to summaries the packaging requirements and this way we were able to have a clear consolidated plan to apply in our packages to make sure it complies with all the countries , moreover I had to conduct regular weekly meetings in order to keep the team motivated and to remind them with the importance of this project to our company also opening the space for suggestions and ideas , i used the the same approach when I noticed that we weren't getting enough cooperation from the other departments such as Design , marketing and supply chain and in order to solve this I arranged for several meetings where we discussed the project from different points leading finally to adopt a well structured action plan , approach was taken requirements, action plan , till date we have succeeded in unifying three of our top lines which is considered a great achievement at this point .

To conclude , I think Leadership is all about motivating people inspiring them to be better , Chevening scholarship will provide me with a unique opportunity to pursue my dream of studying in the UK contributing to further build on my leadership skills , as a future leader upon my return to Jordan I will devote myself to creating new leaders , as sadly the world today has enough followers and we are in desperate need for future leaders .
