II Purpose Purpose Personal g––––– Personal g Personal goals oals

My main goal working at Schneider is to gain working experience in different environments rather than university With limited approach to practical environment, it might be hard to get a well –paid job in the future Therefore, I want to find an appropriate place that I can work out all the knowledge learned in university The working experience will be helpful as it reflects how we apply what we learned and how we can make a living from that

My second goal is to explore how the flow of goods in a supply chain Since Schneider is an international operation and Viet Nam acts as one of main Distribution Center in Southeast Asia, contributing a great proportion to our country’s GDP Therefore, the goods might be imported from different countries, making the goods flow as well as logistics complicated

My third goal is to find out which position suits my expectation I starting to work in downstream as an Order Processing intern I hope that this internship will serve as a beginning of my career path By working here, I can expand my networking, meet and work with new people, who are experience and expert in this field By working with them, I hope I can learn not only expertise but also the way they work and deal with problems
