Wittenborg's Sales Director in Vietnam
We met up with Tim to ask what he had been doing in Vietnam.
According to Tim, Vietnam has been a very significant addition to
Wittenborg’s internationally diverse environment. Wittenborg has dealt
regularly with Vietnam and built up relationships with local country
representatives, which has influenced the large number of Vietnamese
students coming to study here in the Netherlands.
At the 2017 International College Economics and Finance (ICEF) Fair in
Ho Chi Minh City, Wittenborg secured over 20 applications. It was a
clear decision to attend again this year, with Tim in the role of Sales
Director and part-time explorer.
Tim the Sales Director
The Sales Director explained that this year's visit was "mainly just
to reconnect with local country representatives and continue the process
of what Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences does well – building
international relationships. I also spent my time conducting workshops
and small training sessions on presentation skills for potential
students, and even the country representatives themselves, which was
very successful."
Tim's workshops focused on the important rules of body language and
position when doing a PowerPoint or flipchart presentation. At
Wittenborg, students will get the opportunity to hone these skills
further during the 12 project week presentations, work placements and
final graduation assignment presentations.
With around 25 meetings over the course of the week, plus a few
spontaneous conversations during the training sessions, Tim thought he
had deserved some time out.
Tim the Intrepid Explorer
Over a 4-day period, Tim the explorer spent 2 days in hot and dusty
Ho Chi Minh City, and then onwards to humid Hanoi for another couple of
days. There he took the opportunity to explore the city on Grabs – the
popular taxi mopeds.
According to Tim, “The food is exquisite, the green greener than
Ireland, and the taxi rides much more fun than in Holland! Sightseeing
in Hanoi is amazing!”
Having mixed business with pleasure, Tim returned to Ho Chi Minh City to
end his tour. By his own admission, Tim had a great trip!
