Susanne: I need to visit the customer in Germany. It's important.

Mario: What can I do to help?

Susanne: Can you send an email to the customer? Ask them when I can visit them next week. Please do this first. It's a priority and very urgent.

Of course, I help all teammates with any task they have. Like, join the meeting with him/her to explain or clarify things in another way if its need it. As an SWE we face bugs and errors daily many times I work with others to solve them.

Yes, I do. When I worked in sales in my previous company, I used to help my boss with his work. He wanted me to make an appointment with the customer then I helped him to call the customer and arranged a suitable date for him. Also, he wanted me to call the driver to pick him up, I keep on helping him. I'm willing to help people when I'm available.

Yes, I do. When I was old enough, I realized the hardships that my mother had to suffer. So, I help her with housework such as: cleaning the house, washing clothes, feeding the chickens, cooking, and sometimes I go to the fields to weed and harvest crops. I am currently a pharmacy student at Hanoi University of Pharmacy. I'll try my best to become a good pharmacist so that I can improve the health of my mother and the communities
