Please explain how you have become a more competitive applicant since your previous application, and also proactively address every area in which your candidacy for admission has improved.
Since my previous application to XYZ School of Business, I have continued to grow and develop as a financial entrepreneur. In order to facilitate my goals of eventually creating a short term hedge fund which will add jobs and stability to the American financial market, I have accepted a new position at ETC Global Holdings, one of the largest high frequency trading clearing firms in the world. In my new role, I am positioned to lead the Risk Management and Operations department, which affords me a tremendous opportunity not only for learning, but for practicing my financial management skills and gaining extensive understanding of the risk management market. ETC has also afforded me the opportunity to grow in other ways, such as my team management skills, conflict management, managerial procedure and human resource policy understanding and of course, financial skills.
At ETC Global Holdings, my role as a true leader is being defined on a daily basis. Not only am I required to use and create new team management skills, but I am also required to generate strategies that create revenue for this global company. In this role, I am a key component to the financial success of ETC Global, and seek to understand new market strategy on a daily basis, garner new clients and work with them from the outset creating a personal, mutually beneficial synergetic relationship.
One of the ways I define my leadership role as being unique is by using a solid and charismatic personality. Not only does this lead to feelings of trust and understanding with new clients, but it helps to resolve doubts and conflict in a natural and comfortable manner. Individuals may believe that having a solid understanding of the financial markets is enough to grow in a role such as this; however, I believe that it takes more than that. It takes the ability to lead and to communicate with clients in a successful manner, and being able to think outside the box in a way that leads to financial success for both the client and the firm.
My financial skills have grown exponentially within this position as well, and in this way, I have a greater understanding to bring to XYZ Business School and its students. With ETC, I have learned how to manage back office support for products like equity, fixed income, bank debt, and options. I have added to my skillset an understanding of how financial instruments function, why they are risky, how to minimize their risk, and how banks and other institutions settle them. In addition, ETC has allowed me to understand regulatory practices on complying with SEC and FINRA regulations, which is of substantial importance in this field.
As I am constantly seeking ways to further round out my professional skillset, I am currently seeking licensure for the Series 7. I will take the exam in May of 2012, and in preparation for this test, I have been studying equities, accounting, bonds, options, regulations, and macro and micro economics. While this exam is difficult, I am confident in my ability to pass and to add this license to my core offerings as a financial businessman.
In my previous submission, I related to the board my goals of learning more about managing risk and running a firm. I firmly believe that one must embrace opportunity in order to succeed, which is why I have accepted this new position and have begun making these dreams a reality for myself. The ability to grow with the changing times is essential - stagnation will never serve a true leader in an ever changing workforce. I have grown considerably since my previous application, and have a solid set of new skills to bring to the table at XYZ.
