KINH NGHIỆM TÌM THỰC TẬP Ở CHÂU ÂU
(bài viết này được viết vào đầu 2020)

Đầu tiên là một chút disclaimer:
Đây chỉ là câu chuyện riêng của mình, profile mỗi người mỗi khác nên các bạn đọc tham khảo thui nhé. Rất mong các anh chị đi trước nếu có kinh nghiệm xin thực tập xin hãy chia sẻ với vạn đầu em nhỏ với ạ hihi 🌼

Kinh nghiệm xin thực tập của mình

Năm ngoái (2019), cũng như bao người, mình chật vật tìm internship. Mình bắt đầu apply rải rác từ tháng 12, 2018 nhưng tất cả đều từ chối. Cho đến tháng 4, 2019 mình tập trung rải đơn mỗi ngày 10 cái, cuối tuần 50 cái. Không chỉ rải ở Pháp, mình rải qua Bỉ, lấn sân sang Hà Lan, dây dưa qua Ý và lây lan qua Đức... Sau 3 tuần liên tiếp thì mình nhận được khoảng 5-6 assessment test invitation và hơn 400 rejections 🤭😂
—> Bài học 1: Cứ rải đơn đi vì cuộc đời cho phép và không nản chí khi bị từ chối.
Tuy nhiên, cũng nên chọn lọc trước khi nộp không lại mất thời gian nhé. Ít nhất là nên bỏ qua những job không liên quan đến background của mình và không đòi tiếng Pháp lưu loát.

Mình thường tìm offer ở đâu?
Theo thứ tự ưu tiên:
- LinkedIn (không chỉ trong mục job mà hãy follow các professors của trường vì họ hay post offers lắm)
- Website của công ty (trong đầu biết đến tên công ty nào thì lên thẳng career platform của nó để tìm luôn cho nhanh, đây là cách mình tìm được vị trí hiện tại)
- igora của KEDGE (trường mình học) và Glassdoor - đây là một platform kết hợp giữa trường và glassdoor
- Nhóm cựu sinh viên của lớp/ngành trong trường
- Cac Professors dạy mình
- Bạn bè (có mấy đứa nó giỏi và có quá nhiều offer, hỏi nó hông nhận cái nào thì chỉ cho mình 😂)
—> Bài học 2: Không bỏ qua bất cứ một nguồn nào dù là hy vọng mong manh

Trong các bước tiếp theo ví dụ như digital interview và skype interview thì mình rụng bớt chỉ còn có 3 tia sáng trong cuộc đời. Amazon Luxembourg đã say bye bye với mình. Rồi một ngày đẹp trời mình được GSK Bỉ offer. Vì nghĩ không nên tham sẽ bị thâm nên mình nhận luôn chứ không dám mong chờ gì hơn. 10 ngày sau khi mình accept offer đấy thì P&G Đức gửi offer 😭.
—> Bài học 3: Khi phỏng vấn hãy thật bình tĩnh và coi như đó là cuộc nói chuyện bình thường giữa bạn bè với nhau chia sẻ về kinh nghiệm việc làm thui. Như vậy mình mới dễ giữ được chính mình 😬 và lan toả sự chân thành đến người tuyển dụng.

—> Bài học quan trọng nhất: Đừng tự ti về profile của mình vì ai cũng có thế mạnh riêng hết. Không phù hợp với chỗ này sẽ phù hợp với chỗ khác. Chẳng việc gì mà không dám apply vào mấy công ty lớn cả.

🆒 Interesting Fact
Nếu các bạn nhận được offer ở EU (bên ngoài nước EU bạn đang theo học) thì các bạn có thể apply học bổng Eramus+ để có thêm một khoản sinh hoạt be bé trong thời gian thực tập + 3 khoá học tiếng online miễn phí Pháp-Đức-Hà Lan customized theo nước mà bạn thực tập.

Chúc các bạn sắp tới tìm được cơ hội thực tập ưng ý.

Interview with A Founder: Alvin Kwock (Co-founder of OneDegree )

By Sophie Chiu (AppWorks Associate)

Alvin Kwock is the Co-founder of OneDegree, an alumnus from AppWorks Accelerator #16. Founded in 2016, OneDegree is a technology startup aiming to become the next-generation insurance industry leader in Asia. The company hit a major milestone in April this year when it received a virtual insurance license, making it one of the first batch of firms authorized to sell insurance through online-only channels in Hong Kong. Since then, OneDegree has launched the city’s first pure medical insurance for pets, which will be followed by cyber and health insurance products and more.

【Having such a fruitful year, can you recall the most challenging / rewarding moment that you have come across during your start-up journey?】

Our earliest days, fundraising and try to win trust from potential investors, were definitely the most challenging. In order to operate legally, we had to apply for an insurance license, which required at least US$30 million of paid-in capital. We met with many investors and there were some who turned us down immediately, telling us there was no way we can raise that amount at a pre-revenue stage. However, we were tenacious and just kept pitching. One investor in particular said no to us 3 times, but we eventually won their support on the 4th attempt. Our technology is our moat, and we worked hard to demonstrate to investors and partners the revolutionary nature of what OneDegree can offer. A big insurance firm, which approached us about a partnership, told us that they could spend US$100 million and still not be able to replicate the powerful insurance core platform OneDegree has built. Getting to where we are today was not easy, hurdle after hurdle, but an incessant belief in our mission helped us get through all the challenges.

【As a founder, what would be some advice for newcomers starting their business?】

Creative thinking is often emphasized as the most important skill or attribute for entrepreneurs. However, in my own experience, building trust is even more important. Trust is an effective tool to facilitate transfer of your creativity to the people who work with you. Over half of our employees are shareholders of OneDegree, which contributes to an environment of trust and collaboration. I believe that a team can only be successful if it plays together. To build trust with clients, we have to show them that we have the ability to deliver and to consistently provide them with something of value. We demonstrated this through our debut insurance product. For example, we pledged to pay out claims within 2 days – much faster than traditional insurers – and we’ve managed to deliver on that.

【Eventually, what impact do you want to have?】

OneDegree’s goal is to become the gold standard in the insurance industry. We aspire not only to serve customers of our insurance business, but also to maximize the impact through partnerships with like-minded insurers, banks and eCommerce channels globally. We want to make the insurance experience entirely seamless for our customers, and we will be relentless about this. Settling claims within 2 days may sound fast today, but it is not too hard to imagine that in a few years’ time the process may only take minutes, or even seconds, to complete. We strive to be at the forefront of change, helping insurance companies become more efficient and making it easier for all end users to get the protection they need, with a simple click or tap on their devices. This is the impact I want to have.

Interview with A Founder: Edwin Wong (Co-founder of Cloudbreakr - 亞洲網紅行銷平台)

By Ching Tseng (AppWorks Associate)

Edwin Wong is the founder & CEO of Cloudbreakr - an AI-powered influencer marketing platform in Asia. He has focused on influencer marketing & social analytics for years, with an aim to empower pioneers and brands to share the stories that influence people. The company has expanded its services from Hong Kong to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand, servicing over 10,000 marketers in over 6 GSEA countries.

1. What is the best advice you would give to first-time founders? What is the most important question that you can ask yourself?

You need to have a strong belief in what you are doing. Before getting good traction, people will keep questioning you why you are doing this. If you don’t have a strong belief in what you are working on, you might give up easily. On top of that, I always ask myself how to be a better founder all the time because founders are the people who have the deepest impact on the company. Your management style and your ability matters. If founders can’t strive to improve themselves, then the company won’t be able to grow as well.

2. What experience made you the founder you are? And what motivates you?

In the early days of Cloudbreakr, I’m the only full time founder, and the team didn’t have a strong engineering ability. With limited work experience, I wasn’t good at arranging tasks which made our development progress sluggish; in the end, two of my co-founders jumped the boat earlier than I expected. At that moment, I realized that I might fail this startup if I kept on managing the company like this, so that’s probably the moment I became the most determined to take this company to an impactful level. Also, I’m not the type of person who gives up easily, I don’t want to let my friends and family down because they have been supporting us this whole time. All of these are what motivate me everyday.

3. What is the biggest mistake and takeaway in your founder journey?

I don’t like to fight with others; I tend to compromise. For example, when negotiating salaries with our employees, I used to accept all the requests just because I didn’t want them to leave or make me unhappy. I didn't take the company’s long term benefit into consideration when making those decisions. Later on I realized this would do long term harm to the company. In order to urge myself to do more long term thinking, I asked my co-founders to give me direct feedback whenever I’m not dealing with things from a more rational perspective.

4. What have you learned in 2020?

It’s a tough year for everyone but also a great moment for the ones with a solid base to shine. How fast you can make the right decisions is a crucial ability in 2020. For example, it’s difficult to predict things and decide whether you should keep the project ongoing or not, and how to react to city lock-down while you still want to have a great momentum of business expansion. I learned to not drown myself in the daily tasks, but to make strategic decisions at the management level, after all, being able to identify the long term goal of the company is what a leader should strive for.
