I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Administrative management Staff/ Project Assistant, Secretary.. at your esteemed company. With more than 25 years of professional experience as a project/personal assistant, secretary, translator/interpreter (English–Vietnamese), prococurement, im-export and administrative officer, I bring a solid track record of supporting senior executives and contributing to the successful delivery of large-scale, internationally funded projects.
My experience spans state-owned corporations, joint stock companies, project management units, and NGOs, where I was actively involved in the full project lifecycle—from pre-feasibility studies, tendering, and bid evaluation to contract negotiation, construction supervision, equipment importation, installation, commissioning, and project handover.
Key projects I have supported include:
• National Highway 1A Expansion Project (WB ODA): Assistant and interpreter for CIENCO 1 & Samwhan (Korea).
• Phuc Yen – Xuan Hoa Water Supply Project (Italian ODA): Assistant and interpreter for Vinh Phuc Water Supply Co. and Contractor BeB ingg (Italy).
• Tra Linh 3 Hydropower Project (Indian ODA): Personal Assistant to the PMU Director, supporting inspections in India and on-site coordination during construction and installation.
• Hanoi Urban Railway – Pilot Metro Line Hanoi Station to Nhon (ADB/AFD/EIB ODA): Administrative Assistant and interpreter for the Project Board under the Hanoi People’s Committee. At each position, I handled administrative operations, coordinated communication with international contractors, consultants, and banks (France, Japan, Italy, South Korea, etc.), and translated technical and contractual documents. Notably, I translated the FIDIC contract template (June 2011 version) and ADB disbursement guidelines into Vietnamese.
In addition, I have much more experience in international trade, negotiating contracts, handling letters of credit, and managing shipping documentation for companies importing timber from Europe, Africa, Asia and the United States.
With my broad technical vocabulary, deep knowledge of construction, transport, electromechanical, and hydropower projects, and extensive project administration, procurement, sales, im-export skills, I am confident in my ability to excel in this role. More importantly, I am committed to working long- term and contributing to the sustainable development of your Organization.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications in an interview. Thank you very much for your valuable time and consideration.
