1st Choice Qualification relevant to the applied post (500 Words)

I am involved with IEEE for 5 years. In the year 2018, I am volunteering as Section Student Representative (SSR) in IEEE Bangladesh Section. In recent years IEEE BDS is growing very rapidly. Currently there are 38 student branches and most of the activities of the section evolve around these student branches. Thus maintaining a close relationship with the student branches helps a lot to handle the financial activities with high efficiency. But it is challenging to keep Student Branches connected to the section. While serving as SSR in the year of 2018 I worked very closely with student branches and tried to mitigate the gap between the section and student branches and I was successful. I have also built up a very close and faithful relationship with student branches which is very important to maintain financial activities. Apart from this, as a part of organizing team I have also organized many events from my student branche and many section funded events. I have shown my dedication and passion there and these events were successful. In recognition of my volunteering activities, I received IEEE R10 SAC Student Volunteer Award in 2018 and IEEE BDS Best Student Volunteer Award in 2017. I have also successfully provided all financial reports of these events to the section with full transparency. My ability to maintain the financial activity and records is proven. I will be able to manage IEEE Bangladesh Section financial activities at any scale. I also proved my dedication to IEEE Bangladesh Section and passion for IEEE volunteering activities and all these makes me a strong candidate for this position.
