network essay - chevening scholarship

Having a well-established network of supportive professionals, instructors and potential has become an essential part of our live and valuable tool for advancing our career.I have learned how to hone networking, connect with others, hopefully, growing my network through participation in a shared activity, events, and seminars or even through virtual professional network like LinkedIn.

Being part of company that participate in most of architectural exhibition and conferences and able to build strong relationships network with other companies, specialist and different clients helped me to make connections with different architects and specialist as I represented it in a lot of events and held a lot of clients' meetings.

I can't also deny that participation in various undergraduate events provided me with strong network of relationships which was very helpful for me when my company was responsible for the implementation and supervision of "mega project" facades using smart materials. I've been commissioned by my company to deal with the leading company in this field and get the best materials for the lowest prices. I immediately remembered the architect whom I met while attending the exhibition of Society of Egyptian Architect to present my graduation project, who's the head of designers at the company which I had been commissioned to deal with. I was in touch with him in the past two years, we had a trade discussions about architectural events. I contacted him and he gave me all the information I needed and helped me in the process the choice of materials as a specialist in this field. Later he gave me a lift to the engineer responsible for the financial part, which provided me the best deals and special discounts. Since then my company developed firm relationship with this company which benefited it and helped to increase profit, for they agreed to provide my company with the needed materials for the lowest prices.

Since I started working in my company, it has gained a lot the development of my professional network relationships. I was invited by old customers to our company which works in the field of sustainability and was aware of my interest in this field during our dealings in many interviews to be among the speakers at the seminar about the importance of sustainably and how the world is concerned with this idea in the 21st century, he always though that I have a different vision about this idea. By the end of the discussion he introduced me to a young architect who happened to have considerable experience in the field of sustainability and scientific research in a lot of countries which always offers me help when I need it.

Becoming a Chevening scholar will allow me to engage with other scholars in my field, extending my professional network, open many doors for me to build up my career. I plan to connect with the young architect who want to become a Chevening scholars, give them a tips and communicate effectively with the chevening alumni.

Hadeer, please ignore the advice given above. It is a cut and paste advice of advice that I gave to someone else and does not apply to your essay. Your essay actually responds quite well to the networking question and, obviously the above poster did not read your essay or he did not understand it well enough to realize that you have all of the salient networking discussion points well represented in this essay. In fact, you responded to the questions he posed for you to correct. This essay is perfect for use with this prompt. There is no need to change or explain anything.

@ Hadeer
I think you have respected what is required for this essay. You showed how you created relationships and how they have been useful to you. Finally you did explain how you envisage to use your networking skills within the chevening community.

To me this is a good essay albeit some grammatical errors. Consider below:

"Being part of a company that participates in most of ... " ...also i had to read this paragraph several times to grasp what you were trying to say. I think it is a very long sentence; you may want to consider revising it.

"I can't also deny that participation in various ..." why not say My participation in various undergraduate events provided me with a strong network of relationships which proved helpful to me when my...

I think you should avoid using things like " I've" use instead the full form "I have" this seems more formal.

Good luck!!
