Kelvin\u2019s internship in Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A professional jump start <\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abroader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe experience he gains at HUPH is totally new compared to what he had learnt at school. At Republic Polytechnic, his scope of knowledge relates to pharmacy. Meanwhile at HUPH, his focus is on the research and testing of bioscience. As an intern fresh out of university environment, he found the job at HUPH more of a regimental work where he did things with thorough guidance from his supervisors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work environment is key to motivation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The friendships at workplace are what drives him forwards. He found the interactions and those work and casual conversations part of what he really enjoys everyday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are some parts I have to do the work by myself. However, when it comes to communication with colleagues and my friends, I see it\u2019s a wonderful thing to be able to converse and be confident. By which I mean, you should know your colleagues are happy to have you here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Differences in work culture between Vietnam and Singapore are also a learning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abroader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLanguage Barrier Confrontation during an internship abroad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
An international working environment, however, has a certain degree of language barriers. According to his experience, communication plays a key role in the facilitation at workplace. Facing these challenges is a fat chance that benefits his adaptability to cross-cultural working context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelvin\u2019s solution is to partake in Vietnamese lessons with local buddies. Back then, he learnt useful phrases in order to apply them in working and daily conversations. Interestingly, Kelvin learnt to praise someone in Vietnamese. \u201cXinh gai\u201d (beautiful) and \u201cdep trai\u201d (handsome) are two phrases he found most intriguing in Vietnamese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being with the locals during an internship abroad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The key to a successful internship also lies in one’s willingness to open their heart to the culture and the people. That’s why Kelvin’s journey in Vietnam has been full of laughters and learning. Moreover, one of the most amiable things is Kelvin befriended with a local, a photocopy shop owner, and frequented the place to play with five of his cats. Since he has flexible and amiable characteristics, we know he should be able to adapt to any working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
