English version:

The meeting with Ms. Ho Hac Bao Quyen - Career Path part 2 - "Can English language students do the field of Sales & Marketing?".

On April 15, at FPT University, Ms. Ho Hac Bao Quyen - Country Manager of Macmillan Education Vietnam Representative Office, was invited to share her experience about “Career Path Episode 2 - Sales and Marketing”.

With many years of experience in teaching English and also participating in the fields of Sales - Marketing, Ms. Ho Hac Bao Quyen shared her valuable experiences with FPT University students.

In the talk show, she shared about the opportunities and challenges she has overcome throughout her career path. Ms. Quyen said that although with the advantage of 15 years of experience as an English teacher, she also had difficulty when initially trying out in the marketing field - Macmillan. During that time, she started to learn from the smallest things so that she could gradually gain her experience and grow Macmillan.

One of the most important things that Ms. Quyen would like to mention that when we have difficulties, just calmly analyze the problem we are facing and solve it one by one: “When plan A fails, there are still 23 letters left to work on. Everyone can break their limits, so don't limit yourself but set goals for yourself.”

In addition, she also shared with English language students who wish to pursue a Sales & Marketing job to create lots of opportunities for themselves and face challenges. In addition, the employees must also prove their worth by asking themselves “Why do the recruiter choose you in that position and not someone else?", and cultivate skills such as critical thinking, communication skills, sales skills, and leadership skills, etc.

At the end of the talk show, the question directly asked by the audience which made the most impression on her was: "Should introverts do Sales & Marketing jobs?". She said: “Sales & Marketing is not only about showing yourself to customers but also depending on the tasks that need different personalities. You just need to be yourself and find a suitable job that you can do your best.”
