Hi there. Would appreciate if anyone could help me to look through my essays for my Chevening Scholarship Application 2017/2018 and to suggest for improvements. Thank you so much in advance.
Networking
United we stand, divided we fall. We will be able to march forward at a steady pace but much further than one ever could alone. Being in the Chevening Community will be an opportunity to widen my current entrepreneurial circle to bring together a broader selection of professionals and resources complementing each others' endeavors. To be the best entrepreneur is one that has good networks to encourage, innovate and create outstanding ideas. The journey is what builds friendships, networking, characters, intellectual and mindfulness - A vital step to not skip at all cost.
Do imagine this. If an individual is represented by a thread which in turn is represented by a culture, creativity, ideas, knowledge, experience etc, that thread will only get bigger, stronger, and more colorful when woven together. By building long-lasting connections with like-minded people of different nationalities pursuing the same passion, we will be able to encourage, share and innovate our ideas and strategies together, each forming forming avant-garde ideas.
Relationship Managers ("RM") are the central of networking of every Bank. Being in a team of 8 people handling an overall 131 government and government linked companies' ("GLC") accounts, the nature of my job is such that we will have to rotate the set of Clients occasionally when the need arises. This requires a whole new understanding of the Clients' characters, backgrounds, histories and businesses' requirements. Earlier this year, we welcomed 3 newcomers to the department which then the portfolios' rotations of took place for the new allocation to the RMs. I was entrusted with a new set of clients and with my previous set of clients being transferred to another colleague. Despite the changing of personnel, my previous Clients persisted to contact me for advices and assistance. This is an epitome of a network well established, whereby the Customer has placed his faith in me and I am equally honored to go the extra mile to assist him.
I had the privilege to organize in a team to represent the Bank for two (2) Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") Projects which are an Orphanage and Old Folks Home. It was an eye-opener touching experience to a world I was never exposed of before. I have become acquainted with the team members that strived to make positive impact on the communities. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, PAWS and was devastated to see that many stray animals that were uncared for. The CSR and PAWS experience had engraved in me a strong will to make a change and I vowed to be the voice of those who are not able to voice out their rights.
