I am an American student finishing up my first year of law school. Without making this sound like a resume, I've got a degree in Politics with a focus on Asia and I've got pretty good academic credentials. I'm working on my Mandarin.
I would like to start a career in international trade in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, preferably getting some experience there this coming summer.
I am curious if there is anyone out there in the legal or corporate field who could give me some advice on how to make contact with people doing the work in which I am interested, as well as any advice on how best to approach this. Any personal stories or general tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi there,
I am currently working(intern) for the U.S.-Vietnam Trade Council in Hanoi which i think will be a very good choice for you.See http://www.usvtc.org
I'll stop working by the end of Feb, but email me if you're interested in: gamsmell@yahoo.com
The best way is to get over here first as no-one will do anything without meeting you then blitz the place with your CV and meet as many relevant people as you can. Probably good place to start for you is www.amchamhanoi.com . good luck.
