The seventh France-Vietnam Job Fair (FVJF) has been held in Hanoi, serving as a bridge connecting Vietnamese, French and international companies based in Vietnam to graduates with international profiles.

More than 36,500 new jobs were created in Ho Chi Minh City in the first quarter, 1,800 more than the same period last year, according to the municipal Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.

Many Vietnamese people in Japan, especially the graduates of Japanese universities, have received timely and effective assistance from a local employment service company over the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recruitment demand of Japanese companies in Vietnam is recovering in the second quarter of 2021, but being good at Japanese is no longer a competitive advantage for candidates applying to the company, according to a report released by Navigos Group, a leading recruitment group in Vietnam, on June 22.

A virtual job fair was held on March 27 with a view to connecting Vietnamese job seekers in Japan with local employers.

Season two of the TV game show on employment, Whose Chance? (Co Hoi Cho Ai?), is being aired on Vietnam Television’s channel 3 (VTV3) at noon every Saturday.

The Indonesian government recently launched the pre-employment card for young job seekers, part of a promise of President Joko Widodo during his presidential campaign, with a budget worth 10 trillion rupiah (645.16 million USD) in 2020.

Each enterprise should learn the needs of employees along with its own strength that it can use to effectively attract and retain employees.

Indonesia is getting ready to launch the Pre-Employment Card in April as an effort to create better human resources, according to Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko.

The labour market will shift positively to need less unskilled workers and demand more skilled ones for better quality.

The share of job seekers who are using formal channels (employment services) is growing in Vietnam, but still accounts for a minority of the job search channels used. Most jobs in the country today are filled through personal contacts, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).

A new employment mobile application, called iWork, has been developed by iWork Service JSC and will make debut this September.

Businesses in Ho Chi Minh City, the southern economic hub of Vietnam, need to recruit some 26,000 workers in March.

The final month of the lunar year sees a seasonal employment surge, however, the number of job seekers decline, making it difficult for enterprises to handle the trade of the upcoming Tet holidays.
