Relationship-building and share learning Chevening is looking for individuals with strong professional relationship-building skills, who will engage with the Chevening community and influence and lead others in their chosen profession. Please explain how you build and maintain relationships in a professional capacity, using clear examples of how you currently do this, and outline how you hope to use these skills in the future.

I strongly believe that the key to having good professional relationships is collaboration. The way I seek to build good relationships is by contributing as much as possible to solving or helping my peers to execute their activities. I do

this

through three steps: first by observing the environment as a whole and analyzing where I can contribute, second by seeking the necessary knowledge and developing new skills with the use of appropriate tools, and third by making myself available to learn and gain the trust of my colleagues.

For example

, when I arrived at the Judgment Office in Rio de Janeiro I was assigned to the 2nd class,

due to

my experience in tax refunds and offsetting. I contributed by analyzing the related processes and disseminating

this

knowledge to the other judges with practical cases in our judgment sessions. With the exchange of the chief, it was necessary to recompose other classes, considering the minimum number of 3 judges per class. I was invited to assume the presidency (substitute) in the 4th panel.

Although

I was satisfied with my position, I saw it as an opportunity to contribute to the new delegate and accepted. Currently, I serve as a judge in the 4th class

and eventually serve as an "ad hoc" judge in other classes, as a way to contribute to the maintenance of the sessions during the absences of other colleagues. The reason why I am currently applying for a Chevening scholarship is because of the contact with two other colleagues who are

also

pursuing professional development abroad, which motivated me to implement

this

goal in my life. I believe that networking is a tool for professional development, but

also

personal because the experience of studying in another country and having contact with people from different places in the world goes beyond the acquisition of academic knowledge. I believe that my collaboration will be even greater

due to

the experience that a master's degree in the UK can represent to my organization. Mainly in relation to the correct interpretation of international agreements and their application to tax processes.
