HSU Hotel Management Students Secure Internships at 5-Star Grand Hyatt Nashville

Following the exchange session, five outstanding HSU Hotel Management students, Quach Thanh Dat, Luu Le Minh Man, Ha Hoang Phi, Nguyen Thanh Truc, and Nguyen Thi Thao Van, had the opportunity to interview directly with the General Manager and Director of Human Resources of Grand Hyatt. The hotel representatives commended the students for their strong professional knowledge, excellent English communication skills, and confident attitude. Consequently, all five students were selected for internship positions at a 5-star hotel in the United States.

The Confident Interview Spirit of HSU Students

Reflecting on the interviews, Mr. Marc Sternagel expressed his admiration: “The students demonstrated excellent training and preparation for their careers. I was genuinely impressed and inspired by their attitude and skills. If possible, I would take them all to the Grand Hyatt immediately. They already know the technical aspects; what we offer are practical skills in professional conduct, problem-solving, and leadership in a global 5-star hotel context”.

I applied for the Front Office position at Grand Hyatt Nashville. At first, I was nervous about interviewing directly with an international hotel manager. However, thanks to the knowledge I gained from HSU’s Hotel Management program and my experience at major hotels, I was confident in answering every question. This is a great opportunity for me to learn and open career doors in the top 5-star hotel environment in the U.S. that HSU has made possible.
