You will be proud of your work. There is no cheating or stealing at our organization.

How to apply:

If you’re leaning forward in your seat right now because you can’t stand the excitement of this job offer, we want to know about you.

Guess what? We don't care about your grades or what school you attended. We don't "do" resumes or cover letters. We simply let your actions and results speak for themselves. Here’s the first challenge: Create a short YouTube video answering the question, “What will you bring to AmCham” (We need to see you in the video; length not more than 2-minutes).

Then send an email to: jobs@amchamhanoi.com with “I want to work at AmCham” in the subject line. Include the link to your video clip and also be sure to include your full contact information in the email.

So tell us why you want to work at AmCham, if it’s a good fit, we’ll let you know the next step. Do not worry if you don’t have previous job experience. We don’t care!

Do not bother applying if:

You don't really know what AmCham is and what we do. There are plenty of other companies you can go work for.
You don’t feel confident telling the boss the truth when problems arise. We need you to be honest and straightforward with us. We’re a team.
You believe that telling lies or withholding information will help cover up a problem.
You are not *great* at getting things done.
You are not a problem solver. Don’t come to us with problems; instead, come to us with a problem and then the potential solutions for that problem. We don’t expect you always know solutions to problems. We do expect you can use the Internet and other tools to find solutions on your own. We want an action-taker, not someone we have to babysit.
You do not complete work on-time.
You make excuses instead of taking corrective actions to avoid problems.

Lastly, a warning in advance:

We are only looking to hire a "rock star" who is ready to take on AmCham as their mission in life. This is not a place to chat, eat fruit, and spend the day looking at your friends' photos on Facebook. We want somebody committed to helping us improve value for our members.

If you think you are right for this, then we can’t wait to see your video.
