Learn about the organization - Learn new skills - Get constructive feedback - Establish my professionally - Expand my professional network Tasks assigned My intern position – Personal Assistant of Deputy Director (Mr Pham Tuan Anh) at International Cooperation Dept (MOF) Tasks assigned In my first day of intern, I got to meet my boss and my first assignment from him was observing and learning about the institution At the end of the day, I have to make a report about my finding to him For the first time in my life, I 26 actually find myself reading a Decision issued by the Government Beside learn about the position, role and main duties of the Department and Division, I have to understand about the operation of the Division as well I can get the information related to the Division from legal document issued by the MOF but to have a broad view about the operation of the Division, there is no better way than asking other employees and this is also a good way to break the ice with them too From my second day, I have professional information of Mr Tuan Anh such as his role and duties, email, phone number at the Dept because after all, I’m his personal assistant From then, I start to support him in doing his jobs During my first week, I spent much of my time reading documents then summarize them, arranging, classifying documents, typing assigned papers, and taking my boss phone when he is not at his office Through my assigned tasks, I learned the way to use office facilities like how to use the copy machine, how to login the system or simply just the way to use the coffee machine From my second week, I started to attend every Monday morning meeting with Mr Tuan Anh The main point of this regular meeting is to summarize and report current jobs situation of each Division and to assign upcoming week’s tasks Before these meeting, my jobs is to prepare documents, briefing papers, reports for Mr Tuan Anh to present and during these meeting, I have to take note the contents of the meeting, especially, assigned tasks for the new week of my Division One of my important duties is to manage working diary for Mr Tuan Anh I organize and remind him of his meetings and help him to make appointment From my third week of intern when I got use to the flow of working in the Division, my boss start to assign me to work and support others in current projects of the Division and then report back to him There are three major projects that my Division is currently focusing on They are RCEP (Regional 27 Comprehensive Economic Partnership), ATIGA (The ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement) and ASEAN+3 (Association of Southeast Asian Nation plus Three) On the RCEP project, I was assigned to support others in collecting opinions about the plan of negotiation in RCEP upcoming meeting from other related Departments and Government agencies My tasks including collect contacts, urge other Departments to submit their opinions and then summarize them into a report for Mr Tuan Anh Between my fourth and fifth week of internship, Mr Tuan Anh has to go on a business trip Since he is not at his office, I have the responsibility to answer all his phone, faxes and then report back to him In the meantime, I was assigned to support the FTA (Free Trade Agreement) impact evaluate team This team including all the employees working on projects which Vietnam has FTAs with other nations in ASEAN, leaded by Ms Dieu Linh The current duty of this team is to produce an Impact Evaluation from Vietnam’s Implementation of Commitment in Regional FTAs by the end of March My tasks in supporting this team include provide all the related documents that my Division has on the ASEAN+3 project and prepare evaluation report about impacts on economic when Vietnam implement commitment in FTAs which was signed in ASEAN+3 for Mr Tuan Anh In the last week of my intern, my boss came back from his trip and I helped him in making a report about his trip in order to submit to the Director Working methodology This is the first time ever that I have chance to work in an office and being a personal assistant of somebody so every day is a learning day to me I have to admit that it really hard at the beginning when I didn’t have much experience in this field but after a while, I started to apply some working - methods that eventually I found it make my jobs a lot easier: Ask my boss to mentor me In my first day of intern, I actually find my boss scary when he welcome me with a bunch of questions related to the history, 28 function, role… of the institution and he also ask which Decision of Government that mention all those things Hence, at the beginning, I don’t have the gut to ask him when I have trouble in my job But then I realize that it can save me a lot of time and effort just to ask him when I don’t know or - understand something and this eventually help me to more tasks for him Observe and then action One effective way to know how to get thing done without asking is to observe I spent much of my time observe the way people working and then copycat them To me, it the good way to start - working Making plan of everything As a personal assistant, one importance task is to manage working diary of the boss The first thing I in every morning is to talk with my boss about the schedule of the day I use the Outlook app to - keep track of every meeting and appointment Be flexible Unexpected events always happen Last-minute meeting or unexpected visitors can change the whole schedule of the day but it normal, it happens all the time I make myself get used to changes and always told - myself don’t be too rigidity when handling my jobs Get used to Office Technology I really have to thank my phone in several times With a few apps, I can easily email, take note, arrange meeting and - appointment or even scan a document with just a button Use my interpersonal skills Since one of my internship goals is to expand my professional network, I try my best to work well with others Especially, I try to make myself useful when supporting other employees because I one of them could be a job opportunity for me in the future D Chapter 4: Results gained from the Internship Gained knowledges • Apply academic knowledge into practice Based on the background knowledge which I have learned at the university that helps me finished my assigned tasks during internship Thank to Information Technology class, I can easily work with Office software such 29 as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint From the Macroeconomic class, I understand how just a little changes in tax barriers can have negative effect on the national economy and from that I know the important role of my internship institution Just a careless mistake or a failed negotiation could lead to thousands billions VND loss and make both consumers and domestic firms to suffer This keeps me to stay focus and be more careful when handling my jobs In additional, the Economic of Asia Pacific class provides me basic knowledges about the relation of Vietnam with other regional nations in field of finance and economic cooperation By working at the International Cooperation Dept (MOF), I can both improve my knowledge and update the latest news about negotiation rounds as well as changes in Government policy And finally, by apply techniques that I have learned from the Business Communication class, I feel more confident when working with other seasoned employees In conclusion, through six weeks of intern, I see the value of lessons that I have gained while being a student at International School and I will carry them along with me in my future career path • Difference between school knowledge and lessons got from intern Although that I can see the academic knowledge here and there in my workplace However, I also realize that what I have learned at the university are just fundamental and basic knowledges In the real world, working is not as simple as applying theories learned at school into practice Here are some few things that I found different between school knowledge and lessons got - from the intern: First of all is the terminology Because my study program at the university using English only, hence, at first I find some terms in Vietnamese is quite strange for me Most of them are specialized term related to Law and Taxation 30 - In Taxation class, we learned that we can calculate the tax payment when we know the value of the good and the tax rate However, in reality, there are more complicated than that since there are more related issues that we have to consider to calculate tax payment For example, Vietnam has many FTAs with other nations in the world Therefore, if one batch of good is proved to have origin in one nations which already had FTA with Vietnam, that batch of good can get tax preference But the tricky part is usually not all 100% of that batch of goods can be proved to be qualified to enjoy the tax preference - but rather just 30 to 40% of that batch of good I only have two Law class during my study and it hits me that knowledges I’ve gained in those class are not enough for me to work in real life, especially when working in a Government institution Even that my jobs are mostly paper works but I still have to read a lot of Law documents to it right Just typing a documents or producing a report have to follow the exactly step that was assigned in Law number 80/2015/qh13 issued by the Government Gained skills Beside professional knowledges that I have gained, useful skills is the second gift to me from my internship One of the first skills that I have acquired from my intern is know how to use all office facilities I know it might sound funny to some peoples because how hard is it to use the copy machine or to send and get fax Well it really hard to me when I don’t know the way to use them I remember the first time that I have been asked to make some copies, I spent half an hour just standing like a fool by the copy machine and eventually copy them all in just of side of the paper And when I submit them, I became the joke of my Division and my boss told me that I have wasted people’s tax money Back then I wish that I have class in my university that teaches me how to use all 31 office facilities But now, after just a few weeks, I’m similar with all office facilities and can make copy in just few minutes The second skill is knows how to use my time effectively As a personal assistant, I’m not just have responsible of my schedule only but also of my boss’s Planning out time effectively in order to deliver best output on-time was one of my priorities during the internship The third skill is how to be a team-player International Cooperation Dept has several Divisions but they work as a whole, hence, I have chance to work with many different employees from other Divisions and also supporting difference teams From there, my interpersonal skill has been improved, especially I don’t find it difficult to work with peoples that I’ve just met In short, working in reality brings me some skills that I can’t learn at the university Gained experiences I have to admit that I was undervalued the personal assistant job I thought that this position just plays a small role in organization and it just takes little skills to get thing done However, I have to change my mind after my internship Becoming a personal assistant in six weeks gives me many experiences And the best thing of being a personal assistant is that you not just have experience in one specific job but you have change to be involved in many difference jobs Here are some experiences that I got from my - internship: Communication is very important As I mentioned, one of my assigned tasks is to make contact and urge other inter-units to provide their opinions about one of our Division’s negotiation plan I worked with them mostly on the phone and some of them were not very cooperative I realized that if I push too much pressure on them, they will feel defended and call my boss to complain about me but on the other hand, if I sound too soft then they might 32 forget about it and I have to dealing with the deadline Finally I learned a way, with hard cases, I still use my sweet voice but when necessary, I use - my boss’s name as leverage To have a sense of humor is an advantage Working in Government agencies can be boring sometime I find the environment is too formal and could make people irascible Hence, a little laugh can be better off for everybody I - realize that if you make people smile, they are more willing to help you Making plan and you half way done From the personal assistant position, I learned that before doing something, a jobs or an assignment, you should make a plan to finish it step by step It will be easier to control job situation and to make sure to get it done on-time - Don’t be panic when working under pressure Contribution to the Division An internship in just six weeks is not a long time, however, I did have some contributions while intern at the International Cooperation Dept (MOF) - They are including: Managed schedule and planned time effectively for Mr Deputy Director The Deputy Director himself once told me that thank to me, he don’t even - have to look at the calendar any more Produced many draft reports, such as report about opinions of MOF interunits on the negotiation plan for upcoming RCEP meeting for Mr Tuan III - Anh Supported the FTA impact evaluated team in getting information on - ASEAN+3 project Saving time for Mr Deputy Director when translate documents and then summarize the content for him Conclusion: With few keywords and a searching engine, you will get thousands of result on how a business or organization works But rarely that you have information on how a Government agency works mainly because of national security I was lucky enough to have a chance to intern in one of the top Government agencies 33 and from my internship, I have gained both professional knowledges as well as personal skills Indeed, study must be accompanied by practice and nothing IV better than an internship to it References: ASEAN | ONE VISION ONE IDENTITY ONE COMMUNITY (2016) ASEAN Plus Three Cooperation -
