We invited Thao to do an Alumni Interview Session to re-evaluate our Internship Program as well as to greet and catch up with her. Let’s hear what she has to say about her working experiences at Viet Trang Craft.

1. Three words to describe your internship at Viet Trang Craft:

Thao eagerly shared: “During a year joining the internship program, I have learned a lot in the digital marketing field as well as self-development. If you ask me, there are three words that I prioritized most when talking about my internship at Viet Trang:

  • Learning: Prepare yourself to learn something new. There will always be challenging projects to explore and develop that you can not stop learning and growing by yourself.
  • Proactive: There are no boundaries to limit your contribution opportunities here at Viet Trang. I could freely raise ideas and seek for great lessons and worthy challenges from Ms.Uyen – my Marketing manager as well as other great seniors.
  • Impactful/Purposeful: The strong motivation to do small tasks, yet creating a measurable impact on the community and spreading positive lifestyles.”

2. What have you learned during the internship at Viet Trang Craft?

How these experiences have helped your current job? Thao has experienced her internship program in working from Marketing in a B2B business to pursuing a steady career path in Supply Chain at a big e-commerce company. “To get there, she told us it is a long way full of dynamism and effortless tryings combine with precious experiences accumulated from working at Viet Trang Craft”- she said. She gladly told us about what she learned during her internship:

  • Attitude: Have the appropriate behavior towards tasks assigned, project timeline and cross-function teamwork.
  • Organizing workload: Get familiar with the planning, task managing, communication tools (Base, Slack, Trello). This experience helps me a lot with my time management skills, setting priorities as well as balancing work and study.
  • Planning skills: Ms.Uyen usually reminds us: “Always doing with a plan”. My past training at Viet Trang greatly taught me planning skills and critical thinking to plan factors and action items logically. As I work with a great deal of data, I have been able to organize elements and connections better with clear visualization thanks to the past internship.”

Working in Viet Trang for a year, Thao surely has numerous beautiful memories with all the people here. She shared: “I had a memorable time at Viet Trang as everyone treats each other as a friend, we had a fun time chatting, eating, sharing and of course, the enjoyable atmosphere helps me work more productively! I also had the chance to travel with the team to Buon Ma Thuot and Da Lat on a business trip where I met the start-ups’ leaders who have contributed to the improvement of society. Their companies are related to organic farms and handmade products. I was fascinated to visit the farm with built-in high technology to deliver fresh products with minimized loss and special staffs who are local people needing accommodation and jobs!”
