WINNING STRATEGY BY<br />

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT<br />

Carolina Watler was a successful applicant for the Young<br />

Nation-Builders Programme 2013 scholarships. She has since<br />

completed her studies and obtained full-time employment with<br />

<strong>Cayman</strong> recruitment specialists SteppingStones. She shared some<br />

insights with <strong>Cayman</strong> <strong>Scholarships</strong> <strong>Directory</strong>.<br />

“Being a YNBP 2013 recipient made me feel very fortunate and grateful.<br />

I wasn’t just applying for a scholarship to help me financially, but<br />

I was setting an example to my two younger siblings. At the time I<br />

was applying to complete my Bachelors in Business Management in<br />

Florida, USA.<br />

My experience as a former scholar made me realize that I had to be committed to my studies and<br />

that I should give back to the community, either by helping a nonprofit organization, or taking<br />

up an internship within the government sector. I did my internship within the Department of<br />

Tourism, helping the Marketing and Public Relation unit. As a condition of the scholarship, I was<br />

expected to maintain a certain cumulative GPA, which required that I submit a transcript each<br />

semester.<br />

I learned a lot of things that helped me to gain a position with SteppingStones; one of them being<br />

diversity. You will always be working with people from different countries, with different values,<br />

and you need to be open minded and tolerant with any situations. My scholarship enabled me to<br />

travel giving me the invaluable opportunity to study with people from all over the world and<br />

understand how they handle situations. Other skills I’ve learned through my studies are - independence,<br />

communication, coping skills which are used on a daily basis, especially in a<br />

corporate environment”.<br />

PURGE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA<br />

By Lisa Beauchamp<br />

Potential scholarship recipients - you’re under scrutiny! From the<br />

way you present yourself on paper on your application form and your<br />

resume, to how you dress and conduct yourself in the interview(s);<br />

potential employers are thoroughly scrutinizing applicants and this<br />

includes checking out your online profile and activities.<br />

Be proactive: connect online with the company that you are applying<br />

to for a scholarship. Keep up to date on their posts and tweets.<br />

Be your own brand: create your own brand and market your strong<br />

personal qualities, experience and ambitions. Companies want to<br />

award scholarships to students who are committed to focused on their<br />

future.<br />

Don’t fall into the trap of revealing way too much and being too cheeky<br />

on your Facebook account or Twitter feed, be warned, this could lose<br />

you the opportunity of a lifetime.<br />

Here are some tips:-<br />

Be yourself: fully utilize the information that you are sharing online.<br />

Don’t appear as if you are hiding some bad habits.<br />

Be aware of what you post: delete all of your goofy pictures and silly<br />

comments. Be mature about the content. Include photos of awards received,<br />

charity or community events that you’ve participated in; share<br />

book reviews, intellectual quotes and reveal places you’ve travelled to.<br />

Be smart with personal email addresses: if you are stating your personal<br />

email address on an application form, ensure its non offensive and<br />

preferably professional.<br />

Be careful who you friend and follow: potential employers are going<br />

to consider who you are connected to. Diligently and routinely delete<br />

and tidy up your contacts list.<br />

Take social media very seriously, sharpen your presence on line. The<br />

time that you invest in your personal online marketing could pay off<br />

handsomely with a company investing in you and your future.

PREPARING<br />

LEGAL MINDS<br />

Submitted by Conyers Dill & Pearman (CAYMAN) Limited<br />

During the summer months of 2014 four <strong>Cayman</strong>ians, pursuing a<br />

career in law or expressing a keen interest in entering the legal arena,<br />

were the beneficiaries of Conyers Dill & Pearman’s Summer Internship<br />

Programme.<br />

Engaging<br />

Conyers’ Summer Internship Programme aims to provide the student<br />

with an opportunity to learn about the different areas of law practiced<br />

by Conyers in the <strong>Cayman</strong> Islands and the work undertaken by the<br />

attorneys at Conyers on a daily basis.<br />

“With the support of our attorneys, the Firm’s Summer Internship<br />

Programme is designed to provide our interns with general insight into<br />

law and working knowledge of the various areas practiced by Conyers<br />

in the <strong>Cayman</strong> Islands”, said Gene DaCosta, Director and Shareholder.<br />

Each student was rotated through four modules in the practice areas of<br />

Corporate & Commercial, Company Incorporation and Management,<br />

Litigation and Investment Funds while under the mentorship and<br />

guidance of Senior Associates. Working closely with the Supervising<br />

Senior Associate and Partners in the respective practice area, interns<br />

received in depth, hands on training in the applicable areas of the<br />

law. The interns worked on a wide variety of projects and<br />

assignments, spending significant time on research activities”.<br />

When asked what aspect of the Programme they enjoyed best, one<br />

student had this to say: “Conyers Dill & Pearman provided an<br />

interactive and supportive internship programme that I am so<br />

grateful to have been a part of. My time spent at Conyers has<br />

provided me a strong foundation for a future career in law. The<br />

opportunitiesprovided have been endless, and I consider this<br />

internship invaluable.”<br />

Keisha Syms, Human Resources Manager said: “We are confident<br />

that our interns received great insight into how a law firm operates<br />

on a day-to-day basis and left our Programme with a much better<br />

understanding of the actual practice of law including an appreciation<br />

of the skills that are required in order for them to become effective<br />

lawyers”.<br />

RESUME PREPARATION TIPS<br />

Your resume is one of the most important documents you will ever<br />

write. It’s a selling document and marketing tool with one purpose<br />

– to win an interview.<br />

Consider the following points<br />

Structure:<br />

- Ideally, keep to 2 pages maximum.<br />

- Ensure contact details are up to date.<br />

- Portray yourself as positive as possible, sell your skills.<br />

- Begin with a statement about your career objectives.<br />

- Put your employment and education in reverse chronological<br />

order with the most recent first.<br />

- Focus on your most recent positions, providing the most<br />

information about them.<br />

- Adapt it according to the position that you are applying for. Focus<br />

on the employer’s needs, show them why you are the person to hire<br />

for this position.<br />

-Name your employment history section ’Professional Experience’.<br />

- If you have not yet completed your degree, put the expected date<br />

of completion in parentheses: B. Comm Accounting (expected<br />

2016). This shows the employer that you are on track and have a<br />

plan to complete your education.<br />

Presentation and formatting:<br />

- Your resume should look professional, simple, and clean.<br />

- Avoid coloured paper, fancy fonts and photographs.<br />

- Use a sensible, professional font that it is consistent throughout.<br />

- Use bullet points, be concise.<br />

- Double check your resume for typos and grammatical errors.<br />

- Ahead of reference details, list hobbies and interests.<br />

- You may put “References available upon request” at the end but<br />

it’s not essential. If you are invited for an interview, be prepared<br />

and bring in a separate sheet of at least 3 references and/or their<br />

details.

INTERVIEW<br />

TIPS<br />

Here are a few tips to<br />

consider if you are shortlisted<br />

to be interviewed for the<br />

Butterfield Undergraduate<br />

Scholarship:<br />

- Be confident. Take the time<br />

to clearly think about your<br />

responses. If you are unsure<br />

of a question, ask that it be<br />

repeated again.<br />

2014 recipient Alexandra Anglin with Butterfield’s Vice President, Global Programmes Elizabeth Depledge<br />

Butterfield is committed to<br />

helping young <strong>Cayman</strong>ians<br />

reach their potential through<br />

higher education. That’s why,<br />

on a yearly basis, we provide<br />

the Butterfield Undergraduate<br />

Scholarship to assist students<br />

who are pursuing an undergraduate<br />

degree at overseas<br />

colleges and universities.<br />

Reviewing the many applications<br />

during the shortlist<br />

process can be time-consuming<br />

and it is important that applicants<br />

take the time to review<br />

the instructions and terms<br />

and conditions for each scholarship<br />

that they apply for.<br />

See below for some important<br />

tips to note when applying for<br />

the Butterfield Undergraduate<br />

Scholarship:<br />

- Applicants must be <strong>Cayman</strong>ian<br />

and between the ages of 17<br />

to 25.<br />

- Applicants must complete<br />

the Butterfield Undergraduate<br />

Scholarship Application in<br />

full.<br />

- A letter from a parent/<br />

guardian undertaking to<br />

accept responsibility for additional<br />

funds over and above<br />

the Scholarship allowance<br />

necessary to maintain the<br />

scholar at an educational institution<br />

abroad, or a letter from<br />

a Bank stating that additional<br />

funds are available is required.<br />

- Three references are required:<br />

one from the School Principal<br />

- Academic certificates, together<br />

with full details of grades attained<br />

in the various subjects. Official<br />

certification of grades is necessary<br />

if these do not appear on<br />

actual certificates.<br />

- Allow yourself sufficient time<br />

to collect the various documents<br />

required. Failure to provide the<br />

required documents might render<br />

you ineligible.<br />

- When presenting your information,<br />

be clear and concise. How<br />

clearly you communicate is as<br />

important as what you communicate.<br />

- Separate yourself from the other<br />

candidates. Show passion and<br />

genuine interest in your writing.<br />

- Pay special attention to the<br />

presentation and proof-reading<br />

of your application. Be aware of<br />

sentence structure, spelling and<br />

grammar.<br />

- Responsibility for the submission<br />

of the required documents,<br />

on or before the stated deadline,<br />

rests entirely with each applicant.<br />
