Minh Chu
General Director, AgriBank Land Joint Stock Co., Hanoi, Vietnam
Graduated 2008
"I have always been passionate about business and realizing the strong potential of my beautiful country, Vietnam, for developing tourism, I made my decision to pursue further studies in the hospitality business.Before I came to SHMS I set up my objectives and during my study, I tried my best to achieve the best results possible. Following graduation I set up my own firm providing human resources for the Vietnamese hospitality field (www.hospitality.vn) and also worked in the sales department of a well-known four-star hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. I rapidly learned about the market and after six months, I was offered a job as a project manager for Agribank Land, a company specializing in tourism and hotel investment.
The skills I learned at SHMS such as multi-tasking and learning to think globally have combined with my previous experience in finance and economics to lead me to my career highlight, being appointed as General Director of AgriBank within one year of my debut.
For students who are considering studying hospitality, I would tell them that it is the industry of the future. It offers fast growth, a challenging and dynamic working environment and many promotion opportunities. Hence, it is worth engaging and investing in! Identify your goals in advance! Set up your plans carefully! Choose the best school for your study! Finally, always think positively!"
