Vu Ha My
Internal Communication Intern · Mekong Capital
Panel: Lan (Talent Lead) + An (Internal Communications Manager)
· In-person, VN/EN code-switched, ~45 min
Overall weighting: Culture 50% / Competency 30% / Future-fit 20%. It informs; the panel decides.
Exceptional detail-tracker and culture-builder with rare, demonstrated integrity; de-risk English working-fluency and firm-scale senior-stakeholder chasing during probation.
My is a near-perfect behavioral match for this role: she already does the exact invisible-work layer the JD describes (invitations, reminders, registration, thank-you notes, feedback reporting) voluntarily and reliably, and she narrates it with unusual self-awareness and honesty. Her strongest evidence lands squarely on Mekong's values, especially Communication, Integrity, and Responsibility, and she proactively disclosed the one soft data point on her CV rather than letting it read bigger than it was. Development edges are English working-fluency (IELTS 6.5) and untested confidence chasing busy senior professionals at firm scale; the one structural watch is that all evidence is student/agency-intern scale, not yet a 50-person firm.

Day 14
Own the session-logistics layer liveHand her one full internal sharing session end to end (invitations, reminders, registration, room/link, thank-yous) on her own tracker. Verify nothing drops and that walk-up requests get captured. Confirm the two fixed morning slots against the session calendar. Sample one English written deliverable to check firm-standard polish.

Day 30
Feedback loop and reporting she flaggedHave her take ownership of the mediocre feedback-form completion and untrended attendance An described as an intern opportunity. Target: a repeatable one-page report plus an attendance trend across sessions. This tests exactly the gap she said excites her.

Day 45
Senior RSVP chasing at firm scaleAssign her to chase RSVPs from investment professionals in a busy period, the previous intern's hardest task. Observe her 'politeness stamina': does she send the polite fourth follow-up without taking silence personally? Also gauge her engagement with the Ontological/culture framing she only half understood.
-
Day 59
Conversion decisionDecide on completion certificate, reference, and priority for future openings. Confirm: reliability held across repetitive cycles, English output met firm standard, senior-stakeholder chasing landed, and appetite for the firm's transformation approach deepened rather than stalled.
