Hello, everybody! My name is Olesya. I am Russian. Three months ago I was given the great opportunity to work as an intern in the US Language school in HCMC, Vietnam. Working in the US language school enabled me to understand deeper the teaching process and helped me broaden my knowledge as an English teacher. I've enjoyed the lively atmosphere at this school and really love students and staff here. I can surely say that this internship is fascinating and invaluable experience for me. Each day at the school I communicate with students and conduct lessons what helped me to gain a great amount of confidence in dealing with different types of people. I believe that skills I acquire will help me to pave my way for success. I am really grateful for such an opportunity and valuable experience I have gained. Thank you AIESEC and all that people who supported me in my decision to come here in Vietnam.

As an EP, who used to be helped very much by AIESEC FTU HANOI, let me share how helpful their support was when I did an internship in Hanoi from March 13th to October 30th and I would like to recommend AIESEC FTU HANOI be the best iGIP team from the bottom of my heart. One of the amazing things that they did for me was their efforts to persuade my parents to allow me to do an internship in Vietnam. Before my deciding where to go, my parents were really worried about letting me stay in Vietnam for a long time alone because they still had an scary image of public order in East Asia. In response to my parents’ voice, the team made them a video in which they interviewed the members in the TN I was thinking of. As a result, it reduced their anxiety considerably and admitted my internship finally. Besides, before the departure, I had to finish some procedures for taking visa but I struggled the difficulty getting the true information because such information about visa in Vietnam was so unclear. However, one of the members made a lot of efforts to get true information about it by such as contacting local civil officers. Those generous supports definitely helped me a lot and encouraged me to choose Vietnam as the location. Furthermore, after arriving in Hanoi, they always care about me and assisted me when I needed their help. For example, when I had to leave Vietnam as visa reacquisition, they arranged a reasonable plane ticket instead of me, who couldn’t read Vietnamese at all, and picked me up at the airport for the safety when I returned to Vietnam. Also, when I had a trouble with bathroom, one of the members run to my house and solved the problem very quickly. I believe my ordinal life in Vietnam would never have existed without their help. The biggest accomplishment I believe is they consistently (at least twice a month) held a meeting such as welcome parties and coffee talks and give EPs a lot of opportunities to interact with each other. Thanks to them, I met many people from over 30 countries within 8 months and exchanged each value and opinion about things, which I think I have grown up more as a global citizen. As consequence, I really appreciate their support of the team, whose members seriously think about EPs for the first priority. To further support this endorsement, I would be pleased to answer all of your questions in more detail if you have any concern.

MY FAVORITE PART OF MY JOB: NEVER STOP INSPIRING OTHERS. Hi everyone, I’m Valerie Mayer, from Rockland, Ontario. I am a Global Talent of AIESEC HANOI, VIETNAM. I would like to share impressions of my internship in this lovely country.
When I first graduated from sciences commercial field, University of Ottawa, I wasn’t totally sure what it was I wanted to do so I took some time to do temp work and then went travelling. Having dabbled in recruitment and administration roles I wanted to change the direction of my career to get into PR. Having reached a point where my main priority was job satisfaction, I knew internship would be something that I would have to do. From that moment, I always felt the urge to do something new, something different which brought me out of comfort zones. So, I decided to apply for Internship as a marketing assistant in Hanoi and I got it. From this moment my journey started... Before going I was thinking that I’ll only work, and yes, maybe travel. However, from the very first day that I arrived there, I felt the challenge and day by day this affair was getting more amazing. I liked my work, I had the best friends, colleagues and I realized how I am improving myself by inspiring others to improve themselves. I realized how lucky I am to have the chance of being a Global Talent. AIESECers treat me so well. I have so lovely buddy who is always willing to take me out and help me learn Vietnamese culture. Thanks AIESEC and everyone for this incredible year. The people I met here are truly amazing. Thanks AIESEC HANOI for providing me a best experience and fulfill my expectation. I felt so h privileged to work as a marketing assistant in Atlantics, a professional environment. And thanks Atlantic for welcoming me, sending me on so many trips and trusting me on all my projects. This experience taught me a lot. AND I have to say that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LIKE BUN CHA AND BUN BO. Every ending is a new beginning. And now, it’s time for my new adventure. Now I have lots friends in different countries, and tons of friends in Vietnam. I feel happy to be a Global Citizen, and I think everyone should take a chance of this life-changing experience. Thanks to all who made this happen, thank you AIESEC!
Valerie France Mayer, 23 years old, from Canada Worked as Marketing Intern at Atlantic Company, Hanoi
It has been one year since the day I was announced to be the official member of AIESEC FTU Hanoi, but AIESEC has gone with me since the very first year in college. There are lots of learning points, good and bad feelings about the journey I have had with this organization. Being an iGIP member, I was shocked, overwhelmed and disappointed. I never thought that I was fit for being a salesman and iGIP offered me a strange space I had never been in before. For the first 6 months, I did not enjoy my tasks, I disliked driving around Hanoi for 40 minutes to have a 20-minute meeting with partners, or being rejected, being underestimated. It was a tough time indeed when I had to adapt so fast and to step out of my comfort zone so quickly. But it was the time that I recognized myself better. I realized my weaknesses, including bad task management skill and lack of innovation. I got surprised by my own drawbacks, but I discovered the different perspective of myself.
If you ask me if I gain any professional experience, I will say “Of course I do� without hesitation. Being a salesman, a matcher and a service executive, I get to know different kind of jobs, different kind of knowledge that I could never learn if I did not join iGIP. If I was merely a law student, there is no way I would stay up until 3pm to learn about CRM to find the suitable system for my team, or brainstorm the way to close the deal with a company that I had chased for 3 months, or to rewrite an email over and over again to solve the crisis with interns. I considered that in iGIP, I have more failure than success, but there are always precious lessons after the journey. ER is different from any team that I have been in before. There are talented people, with great ambition and capacity that I know I need to learn a lot from them. In this team, I feel the pressure all the time, from the goal that VP sets for us, from the invisible competency that I set for myself. But here, I found the greatest leaders that I have ever worked with, the coolest teammates who are willing to give me advice anytime and to share the anger and sadness that outsiders could not understand. At first, I do feel lost in this team and I know many newbies would feel the same way. But time after time, iGIP connects us all, to put all our heart and effort into something that we are not paid anything to do. I treasure every single person I have met and every experience this organization has offered me.

SOME MODEST EXPERIENCE SHARINGS My name is Sam Ngoc Mai and I’m LCVP iGIP 15-16 at LC HCMC. Frankly speaking, in my VP Term, what I learned the most wasn’t “extraordinary” strategy, super planning skill or master of task & time management as most people usually think of learning points when becoming a VP. Of course those things are worth striving for & saving for future use. But what I want to share here is very simple: what I treasure the most when leaving AIESEC. Firstly is the “back-to-basis” conception that I learned through interactions with my members & leaders. They taught me to adapt & drive a team in the way it to be – the AIESEC way. That the original platform of organization is a tool and also a compass for leaders to never leave the ground for sustainable development. You may be ambitious, you definitely have to right to dream big for your team, your members, your LC but remember to keep in mind the authentic meaning of founding AIESEC. We gather here to experience youth, not to burden it with complicated thoughts. Secondly, you only work best with your truly confidence from the inner by understanding what you are doing from easiest aspects & dare to face “hack brain” issues, then beat it. What I mean here is to solve problems completely, never ever leave a doubt in you because it possibly annoys you. Without peace in mind, you may not make decisions precisely. Let yourself get stuck in a dilemma is not a good action in the long run for a leader. Lastly, most of my time in AIESEC I heard the word phrase “retention rate”. Just like a short sing “Member just leave, leave, leave…and leaders just cry, cry, cry…” flying around my head all days. When you have gone through a long time in AIESEC, passed too many “strategies”, failed hard with your trying to keep somebody stay but it was all in vain, you would know that the boundary between “stay” & “leave” in AIESEC is not all your “holy strategies” but what you real feel for your members & all act naturally, connect a little bit, through smallest things & be patient. To be a VP is not hard, if you are passionate for AIESEC, you are totally able to do it successfully.
Sam Ngoc Mai, 22 years old Former Vice President of Global Internship Program in HCMC Local Chapter
For the last one year, I have had the chance to take different positions in iGIP function, both in LC level as team leader and MC level as a member of National Supporting Team. During that time, I met the ups and downs and there were even times I wanted to quit everything to come back to my old life before AIESEC. But now looking back to that 1 year, I see myself grow a lot by overcoming over challenges, by believing in myself despite all the limits in my capacity to perform the tasks and now, I have seen myself become a better version of myself compared with the old me in the first year of university without AIESEC.
Besides that, being in AIESEC and especially iGIP, not only have I improved my professional skills when working with different stakeholders but I was also able to have a new family in my university life. Each member, each leader seems to be a brother, a sister to me. The reason I joined AIESEC was that I see the professionality in it. And the reason I still stay here after nearly 2 years is because of the people in it. In AIESEC, I do not see myself grow alone but I see us grow together, overcome challenges, crisis together and own our life-changing experience together. Phan Quoc Khanh, 21 years old, from Hanoi (2nd from the left) National Supporter of Product & Salesforce Development My main responsibility as a coordinator for matching campaign summer peak is to count results every week and updated to our Facebook group. Sometimes, I wrote stories of matchers to share their experiences, their AIESEC journey and their passion for iGIP. As a coordinator, I learned much about myself. Through sharing and coaching with other members in NST team. I discovered my weaknesses. Some of them I haven’t known yet. Some I knew but never had enough motivations to change. Also, they gave me good advices and feedbacks for bettering myself. Though I have not changed much up to now, but I gained more confidence about myself. Also, I have more beliefs to stand for myself, to be myself all the time. I can’t forget what a sister told me : “You are strong enough. But you always underestimate yourself. You always scared.” This keeps repeating in my head whenever I feel scared. Maybe my brain gains more “muscles” now. Le Thi Hanh Tam, from Lam Dong, studying in HCMC National Supporter of Marketing Campaign
It’s the people that I value the most when working this phase. I appreciate how they support me both at work and in normal life. Thank you so much NST team.
I was chosen to be an NST Talent Capacity at the time I was lost in my AIESEC journey. Looking back the path I have walked through, some make me happy, some make me think how ridiculous I am. I still keep a “GUINESS” record for myself because I am a never-attend-any-AIESEC-conference AIESECer. I have learned so much from NST team, from NST position itself. Become an NST Talent Capacity, the number of multiple tasks have been double, at the time everything is so brand-new, I learned how to deal with tasks and planning at the same time. My main job looks like an HR staff that facilitate sufficient skill for iGIP’s members, help them to create the environment making them enjoy their work more. It is not easy when you try to develop and manage member’s capacity of more than one Local Chapter. At that time, without the support from my direct leader, Mr. Phat, I cannot imagine how hard it would be for me to complete the challenge. Above all, I realize that it is “easier said than done” when you are truly in charge of the development of your organization. At the end of the day, the best lesson I have learned from my AIESEC journey is, if you can keep your mind peacefully, you can easily step into what world that you want, but without true friend, you cannot do that, and I am proud of saying that I have found out my true friend in AIESEC- my NST team 1516. P/S: Thanks to be my true friend, guys. I will miss you guys so much. Time may fly but your images in my heart will never be faded. Thank you!
Le Thi Ngoc Anh, from HCMC National Supporter of Talent Development
My main responsibilities are to support our exchange process by promoting Vietnam and our job opportunities to attract international talents. However, the most important thing is to raise our LCs’ awareness of IR work. At first I felt a little pressure, since I hadn’t had to do such a lot of tasks before and also I was afraid of things going wrong and IR cannot bring out result.
However, NST experience is more colorful than I thought. First, I got a lot of skills, especially process management and critical thinking through planning and communicating with partners. Moreover, what I appreciate the most is how it changed my mindset and helped to release myself and think positive about everything. There is a leader saying to me: “If you can find peace in your soul, you can do everything easily.” I started to think more simply, enjoy the time with IR and people, actually how I could not enjoy this great experience when I had chances to talk with a lot of passionate people from IGIP, IR team, others NST IR in abroad and especially NST Team. From them, I learnt a lot and also shared a lot, not only work but also life. Also, being an NST
gives me the chance to engage more in IGIP work, join summit and learn more about IGIP core values, which is the main point that helps me to make my mind clearer and to identify my motivation in AIESEC. Trinh Thu Tram, 20 years old, from HCMC National Supporter of International Relations
Thank you for giving me this great opportunity to develop. I hope what I have done in this phase will be relevant to your position in the next term.
