Getting a job is what all students looked forward to after graduation.

She will embark her career as a management trainee in Lufthansa Vietnam for two months spending eight hours daily at the office learning about the daily operation as well as getting involved in advertising campaign and customer service support.

Getting the job wasn't as effortless as Do Van thought. She was put through three rounds of selection assessments which include personal interview with the Management of Lufthansa in Vietnam as well as three sessions of logic mathematics, group work and personal interview in Singapore. She prepared herself by reading up intensively about Lufthansa,a and the training she received at Raffles College aid her when it comes to the interview sessions.
