INTRODUCTION

“Believe in Success- You Will Succeed!” This is the quote that left a great impression when reading Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends & Influence People" Others can succeed, why can't I? That question always popped into my head That's why I took advantage of my passion for the field of economics to pursue it

From the perspective of a freshman, I see that our country is on the path of

industnalization, modemization, expansion, and comprehensive integration Economic globalization is a stepping stone for countries to get ahead in terms of economy, which has become a development trend in many countries In 2007, Vietnam officially became the 150th member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), signed 15 free trade agreements (FTAs), and officially joined the ASEAN Economic Community in July

1995 signed a bilateral trade agreement between Vietnam and the United States in 2000, Since then, there have been many opportunities for the development of the country, especially for me Have the opportunity to access useful information and knowledge; advanced technology and techniques; dynamic and creative working environment; career opportunities increase

Besides, international business is an industry with global trends and high integration

As a hot major, providing students with basic to specialized knowledge about business, and constantly updating knowledge for students, the industry has many career choices because the industry requires large human resources such as Marketing specialists, mnport-export specialists, and international financial analysts, that's why industry's salary is quite attractive and also has a variety of qualifications, experience, location, etc

At the same time, choosing to enter this major helps me have more motivation to learn more teamwork skills, decision-making skills, foreign language ability, etc., and more understanding of the major to develop myself body in the most perfect way

Next, the income potential after graduation is one of the reasons I chose this major Due to the relatively high requirements for knowledge and skills in the industry, the salary must also be corresponding Currently, the basic salary of an international business specializing in a Vietnamese enterprise ranges from 8 to 10 million/month, and when working experience is accumulated at a certain level, the salary can be increased up to 20-40 million/month' In an American business, the average salary of a novice business

analyst is $4450/month’

In the end, I chose international business mainly because it suits my personality: extrovert loves to make friends, loves to learn about different cultures, and loves to learn and explore And I realized that my chosen field of study would lead me on the path to success

CHAPTER 1: SELF-ASSESSMENT Self-assessment is an ability that everyone needs to possess, especially students in general and authors in particular With self-recognition of our abilities, we can find strengths to develop and eliminate weaknesses, thereby enhancing our self-worth By determining what we are good at and what we are not good at, we can also easily search for and select suitable jobs It can be seen that the ability to self-assess self-efficacy determines a person's success

The most accurate way to assess yourself is to ask questions To see himself most accurately, the author answered questions related to his interests, skills, life values, and personality - factors that directly affect his ability

By answering the above questions, the author applies the SWOT analysis method: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to assess personal capabilities mine

my ability and that is also my strong point

I am a pretty good communicator Everyone around commented that the talker was clear, clear, and easy to understand “I'm glad to talk to you” is what I often hear after most conversations with people Good communication helps me a lot in my studies as well as my work, making many friends, practicing listening and critical skills, and conveying all my information, opinions, and ideas

Next is good art Not as good as a singer, but I've always been confident in my voice Anywhere can be a stage for me, a windy field, a closed room, or even a bathroom,, Has won the second prize in the Spring Festival performance in high school, attended many singing activities in volunteer events, opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies, etc Singing it gives me freshness and comfort The smiles on everyone's faces let me know that I spread these things very well through my voice

Besides, I am a friendly, sociable person This is exactly what a lot of people want but can't | am very fortunate that I can always keep up with my friends, have peace, and receive love from friends and family Entering the University, a completely new learning environment, I easily integrated and made many new friends

Diligence, hard work, and diligence are strengths that bring me many benefits in the present as well as in the future I have worked hard to be now a student at Ton Duc Thang University Along with that, it will be a much-needed strength for my work in the future, helping me to be more different from everyone else And [ have to work hard to train it so that it doesn't fade and fade away

Finally, I am a person with a high sense of responsibility First of all, being

responsible for myself, [ understand that I have to try my best to achieve what I want, and what to do to help myself now and in the future Be aware of what you've done and know when you've done something wrong, don't blame anyone I will feel extremely guilty

when the consequences of what I do are left to others to bear As a student, I know well what my responsibilities to my family are That's why, I always love and help my small family, not being greedy or demanding when my parents get older and older because they take care of me

These strengths always give me the strength to develop That's why I try to maintain and promote those strengths

2 Weakness

Born into life, no one is inherently perfect There are positive sides, there must be negative sides Strengths must go hand in hand with weaknesses Existing alongside my strengths are my weaknesses

The first thing I want to mention is that my ability in foreign languages is not good, specifically English In an increasingly developing society, the foreign language factor becomes a key point in a person's development journey I was born and raised in the countryside, so the opportunity to access English is very low, only learning the most basic knowledge In short, learning to know what English is like Since then, when I entered the university environment, I found myself losing my inherent confidence, especially when meeting a foreigner Opportunities for growth and employment are also limited Access to knowledge is much more difficult

Second, the ability to present in front of the public is not good Although I am a pretty good communicator, when I was in front of a particular group of people, or a class, I was shaking violently, unable to think of what to say I realize that it makes me unable to convey all my ideas to everyone That is also a disadvantage for my future work Therefore, I am trying my best to participate in lectures, and gain experience and knowledge so that I can improve my presentation skills in the best way

Third, knowledge of Informatics is not enough and sure When I was given a PowerPoint assignment I was sure I would do well but it wasn't as I thought With my existing knowledge, I couldn't do it brilliantly But when I started a PowerPoint page, it took me two hours Not only PowerPoint but other important software like Word, and Excel too I am extremely disappointed that I did not learn and study Informatics sooner Next is poor time management I have not been able to system, and arrange study and work plans I often forget the deadline of an assignment, and forget a make-up session in class Leads to poor grades and loss of part of the day's knowledge Sometimes we spend too much time using social networks, sometimes we spend too much time doing homework on a subject And these things make me feel really bad about my development plan I am trying to change it by scheduling study and rest most scientifically

And most of all, I'm a worrier When I have a problem, instead of thinking about it and solving it gently, I tend to think about it a lot, making many assumptions in my head It has taken a toll on my health, especially with frequent headaches But it also helps me to see the problem from a different perspective However, I will still have to overcome it to keep the best health and mental comfort

Those weaknesses will be big barriers for me on the journey of finding and developing myself Learning and training to overcome are what I have to do from now on

3 Opportunity

Asa child of the Vietnamese people, I am extremely proud Vietnam is in the process

of integration and outstanding development The economy has made remarkable jumps and achievements Especially Ho Chi Minh - one of the big cities of Vietnam As a focal point for international exchange and integration, a major center of economy, culture, and education Large and small companies, companies of foreigners are opened more and more Thereby creating many job opportunities with diverse positions for dynamic and enthusiastic young people There are many opportunities to access the most advanced scientific and technical knowledge

The development of science and technology plays a very important role Thanks to science and technology such as the Internet, electronic devices, etc., I can quickly look up information and documents for studying as well as working and developing more day by day

In this major, I have the opportunity to interact with a variety of cultures Through exchange and cooperation with foreign businesses, I can meet many people in many different countries, have more friends, know and learn more diverse cultures, convenient

to work work in a multinational environment

Being studied and trained in the leading educational environment of Vietnam - Ton Duc Thang University With a dynamic environment, enthusiastic and passionate staff, and lecturers With the experience of the teachers, our first-year students will certainly be imparted the most specific and complete knowledge about their major Along with that are friends, and previous classmates with the same passion and enthusiasm, which will partly increase the motivation to pursue the field of study; Participating in team clubs, and school movement activities have brought extremely useful knowledge, supporting the process of training and developing skills in the closest way Scientific research

competitions are also an opportunity for me to acquire new knowledge

Besides, I was fortunate to have the support of my family when I decided to pursue International Business That is also the biggest motivation for me to try my best All these opportunities will allow me to develop all my strengths and overcome my weaknesses

4, Challenge

However, every journey will have difficulties and challenges Along with having more opportunities to study and work is the fierce competition for human resources, because the Business Administration major in International Business is bemg chosen by many people to study, the professional qualifications of peers are increasingly enhanced strict requirements from businesses for knowledge, experience, qualifications, and other skills

On the other hand, jobs are gradually being replaced by machines Leading to

unemployment or illegal employment is also increasing

Working in a multinational environment requires exposure to many different cultural identities It takes time to adapt to new and constantly changing environments Be very alert to filter and absorb what is appropriate to avoid tumming it into a risk, because not all cultures are suitable and correct for us to learn

The development of the Internet was also a big challenge; unverified information spread quickly Although the Internet provides an extremely rich amount of knowledge and information, not all sources are verified and guaranteed to be completely accurate So

I have to be very careful to use the Internet as a tool for my self-study

In parallel with the development of science and technology, it is required that we be dynamic and agile to grasp technology so that we can timely update trends, and acquire new knowledge and new technologies to be left behind , weak and not excluded from this society

Finally, the university environment needs to have flexibility, high self-study, and stress

in exams and grades is also a big pressure for students You must arrange your time reasonably to balance studying and participating in school activities I must accumulate specialized knowledge Degree requirements to graduate, such as IELTS' 5.0, MOS? Informatics certificate from 750 points,

The above self-assessment using the SWOT method, helped me understand myself better Realize that you have strengths and weaknesses, find opportunities, and see challenges for yourself From there, I realized what I was lacking, and at I needed to learn and improve You have to work harder to develop yourself to the fullest And help me plan what I need and must do for my future

CHAPTER 2: DETERMINATION OF CAREER GOALS

Zig Ziglar' said, "If you don't have a specific goal, you won't achieve anything.”

So what is the goal? Goals are ideas that are in the mind or are formulated into a specific plan for an individual or a group Including deadlines for completion, and things

to do in the short or long term And especially identify the efforts required to achieve that goal

Goals play a very important role in the path to success of each person Setting goals has given me motivation, clarity about the future, and focus on those goals That's why I set out for myself a roadmap to be able to do, and know what I will and must do instead

of wasting time on useless things

Understanding the importance of goal setting in life, I created my goal sheet during my four years at school and five years after graduation according to the SMART principles: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound
