USSH Arena: learn well - do well

Attending the contest were MSc. Phan Son - Human Resources Director of VTI Group, Mr. Hoang Trong Nghia - Director of ICANDO Career Guidance and Education Development Joint Stock Company and many lecturers and students of the School.

4 out of 16 teams with the highest total score through the I-Post round - the poster display round with the theme: the importance of being active in studying and proactive in career orientation were selected to compete directly in the final night.

Here, 4 teams go through 4 rounds:

First round: I am a student.

In this competition, the judges and the audience witnessed impressive and unique introductions: "I am a student" from 4 teams: colorful with introductory dances from the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Management Science; music mixed with rap and drama from the Faculty of International; the Faculty of Archival Science and Office Administration with impressive dances: credit hours...

Round 2 with the topic: Learning to the end.

This is a competition that requires quick wits and intelligence from the teams. Here, the teams will have to directly draw situations and answer them right on stage. The issues raised are situations that are very close to the students' own life in the classroom.

Round 3: Do it thoroughly.

This is the most challenging and stressful round. In this round, the teams face the recruiters directly, bringing their resumes and abilities to convince them right on the stage of the USSH arena. This is the most authentic experience, not only for the students but also for all the audience in the hall.

The final round is the round that requires the courage and creativity of the teams. In this round, the teams will draw topics, and after 3 minutes of preparation, they will speak live on the arena stage.

At the end of the competition, the First Prize went to the Faculty of Management Science. The Second Prize went to the Faculty of Philosophy. The Third Prize went to the Faculty of Archival Science and Office Administration. The Encouragement Prize went to the Faculty of International Studies.

Sharing about the students' performances at the competition, MSc. Phan Son, Human Resources Director of VTI Group, shared: the most important thing for students when recruiting is that they need to clearly define the employer's goals and their own goals, avoiding arguing with the employer during the interview.

Mr. Son also emphasized that a keyword that all 4 teams made, as well as a common mistake of many students when they first graduated, is: during the recruitment process, they always say the phrase "I am a student, so I am this and that." when being tested by recruiters for interview responses. These are words that most recruiters do not want to hear and you yourself must avoid.

Concluding the competition night, Prof. Dr. Vu Duc Nghieu - Vice Principal of the School commented: USSH arena is not only a playground for students, it is also considered a training activity of the School. This activity will be encouraged and supported more because of its usefulness and the results it brings to the students themselves.

The USSH Arena is part of a series of activities of the 2nd Casa Day - Training Support and Consulting Festival. This is an important activity, creating a joyful, proactive and positive learning atmosphere; helping students have a deeper insight into their future career orientation.
