Good day guys! Please I need help on this one! General understanding of the prompt, understanding the meaning of the theme, grammatical errors etc thanks a lot
Networking means the act of exchanging information with people who can help you professionally. Robert Kiyosaki, the motivational speaker, always starts his day by saying "If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there" Evidently, Listening to others and looking for ways to meet their need as well as being persistent with my contacts has developed me into a master networker.
My first litmus test in the aspect of networking came during my third year in the university, when I attempted to unify all local undergraduate scholars of Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) all over the country, which consisted of about 1000 scholars from different institutions, under one single association called National Association of PTDF Scholars (NAPS) which I intended to preside over. I achieved this by creating a database of all the scholars published on-line by the fund and then proceeded further to make contacts by using friends from other schools, social media lookup and email correspondence. My major reason for creating this network was to foster communication between scholars around the country with the option of endorsing a presidential candidate for the 2015 general elections in Nigeria as a body. I am applying for the chevron scholarship today as a result of a contact from this association who familiarized me with the scholarship.
Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that LinkedIn has enabled me to connect with industry professionals in the field of sustainable energy. My activities there earned me a spot as a member of a prestigious group called "World solar Association" and this has exposed me to international standards and also gave me insights on the international policies guiding the industry.
Also, communicating with course tutors and professors of universities during open days in the process of my admission application shows the degree of my responsiveness when networking is involved.
With my vast networking skills, I intend to create and unify a group of Nigerian Chevening Alumni Association this will enable Chevening scholars share the qualities of ambition, drive and leadership potential. I also intend using my visual and pattern recognition skills coupled with my ability to develop relationships over time, to help organizations uncover and capitalize on new business opportunities which will culminate to a great delivery of value over time.
To conclude, I have substantiated my strong networking skills with both professional and extracurricular contacts and that i will broaden my network as I progress in my career.
