Hi Tuan, let’s start the interview by an easy question, to describe yourself, what would you say?
Tuan Anh: Friendly, happy
Which color stands for your personality?
Tuan Anh: Blue
What are you pursuing to improve yourself?
Answer: study more about software for work, as an engineer, learning to work as an architect.
What do you think if company rotates you to Building Department to enrich your knowledge in a flexible way?
Tuan Anh: I graduated as a construction engineer, but am currently working in Obayashi's Design Department. If being rotated to the construction side will be a good opportunity to learn more practical knowledge as well as accumulate more expertise for design work.
If so, how long do you expect for new challenge?
Tuan Anh: Depending on the training program of the company, it may take 1 ~ 2 years (a project from beginning until end is the best) to fully understand the construction process.
This is probably the advantage for an architect when he receives feedback from the owner after handing over the project, then check the feasibility that creates good products and user’s convenience for the next ones, hope you will work on new position soon. What is your favorite sport?
Tuan Anh: Table-tennis
You play this sport for body-building or work motivation?
Tuan Anh: Table-tennis does not work much on physical strength, mainly to help develop the ability of reflexes, hand-eye coordination and your focus.
What can ping-pong teach you about motivation?
Tuan Anh: your passions are a part of you, no matter the body is weak or strong, just like a ping-pong game, the observation skill is important; when you work, remember that practice always needs to go hand in hand with knowledge.
Which movies you watch recently and what remained after that?
Tuan Anh: Game of thrones. The film shows unclear boundaries between good people and bad people, characters that aren’t wholly good or wholly evil. There is also a story about friendship, family affection, vows, honor ...etc.
About Game of Thrones, I think of Jason Momoa- an actor, a director, and a film producer, also a great husband and father. Different from the image in the movie, in real life, Jason Momoa is a gentle, humorous and emotional person, and how about you? Which actor/actress do you like most? Who is similar with your personality?
Tuan Anh: I like John Snow the most, feeling similar to my character. I am also interested in keeping and fulfilling the promise, respecting promises and honors, putting family affection first.
Another question for you, it’s little bit personal, are you married?
Tuan Anh: Married in 2015
So how will your small family react if you have to work away from home?
Tuan Anh: my kid is over 2 years old, if I work far away from home, I think we meet some difficulties in childcare because we don’t live with our parents and grandparents, they can’t receive direct support from them.
Thank you very much for your interesting sharing, wish you and your family lots of joy and health.
