ABOUT ME
My name is Ngọc Quỳnh Trần and I am a senior student of KeuKa College, which is associated with Univers it y
of Science – Ho Chi Minh City. I am learning Science Serve; however, International Business Administrators are
exactly my major and my current GPA is 3.3 out of 4 count for now. In this majors, although I learnt a lot of
particular courses, marketing and Operation or Strategic Management are the top three fields that make me
interesting and have enthusiasm.
Although I think I have some weaknesses, I can improve them gradually. Besides that, my strengths are more
remarkable than my disadvantages. The most significant strength of me is responsible because I always completed
my tasks early or on time. Actually, I do not want other wait for me or just because of me, they cannot complete
their jobs so I think I have to have responsibility for my own action. Determined is my next strength, it is not
easy to make me change my decision without any reasonable reasons because before I make decisions, I always
analyses the problem carefully. The last advantages is communication skill, I can speak fluently in public and
observe others attitudes to understand their mind. It helps me to prepare what I have to say or what I have to do
depends on what kind of person I met.
“Systematic, adaptable and creative” are three most things that I want people know about me. Before I do
something, I always plan it carefully and step by step. Although I know some contingencies may happen, based
on what I planned I can find the way to solve it successfully and may do not spend waste time for this. In addition.
Systematic is one of the most personalities that the employers are finding because that may help their company
run smoothly and be organized. Learn quickly and adapt to any situation will help me easy to work with several
kinds of people and cultures and it also necessary in the global market, because the amount of internationa l
organizations invests to Viet Nam increase dramatically and they required a person who can adapt their culture
of work and personal. Finally, although I am systematic, I also a creative person because I work at Marketing
position, the conditions of my job are using my imagination to find new ideas to attract customers or to solve
problems. Finally, I am environmentally friendly, so anything which relate to recycling, reuse or remake still
interest me.
