Serb Krajinovic broke Federer to jump to an early 2-1 lead and it looked like an upset could be in the works against the 20-times Grand Slam champion. But fourth seed Federer broke back the next game and seized the momentum when he blasted a cross-court forehand winner to break Krajinovic again and take the closely fought first set. The 37-year-old Swiss coasted after that, thanks to an overpowering serve that Krajinovic struggled to read. Federer said he was able to shrug off his loss to Dominic Thiem in the BNP Paribas Open final at Indian Wells last week because of his years of experience. “Nowadays I am able to flush it out quickly. I was the worst at it when I was a teenager... right after it was all over I would cry and be so sad and disappointed,” he said. “I wasn’t an angry person really, it just broke my heart. “Nowadays I feel like ‘look, I gave it all I had’. Thiem came up with the goods, I maybe didn’t. That’s it, … [Read more...] about Federer, Anderson advance to fourth round in Miami
Fourth year work experience
Businesses struggle to recruit as Vietnamese employees cling to year-end bonus
Le Thi Kim, director of ManpowerGroup, a human resource solutions provider, said there is increased demand for employees towards the end of the year, as Tet (Lunar New Year) approaches. Kim, who is in charge of outsourcing and staffing services in northern Vietnam, said there was particularly strong increase in staff demand for the smartphone industry, auto assembly, real estate and food processing. These companies plan to employ 100 new workers every month to work in their factories, she said. But, she added, the year-end is one of the difficult times of the year to employ people, as workers tend to finish their jobs by the Tet holiday, which falls February 2-10 next year, to receive the year-end bonus instead of switching to another job. Another factor is that college students usually graduate in the summer and have settled into stable jobs by the fourth quarter. Nguyen Xuan Son, another person dealing with outsourcing and staffing services for ManpowerGroup, said that many … [Read more...] about Businesses struggle to recruit as Vietnamese employees cling to year-end bonus
Students lack experience for startups
Viet Nam News HCM CITY — Startups in the last three years have attracted a large number of students, but few of their businesses have achieved genuine success. Nguyễn Hoài Thi, chairman of Việt An Group, said that before starting their own business, students should select one or two subjects and learn those well. Thi spoke at a seminar on student startups held on Monday at the HCM City University of Food Industry. To learn skills and gain experience, students should also attend contests organised by their universities, such as the HUFI Young Leader of the HCM City University of Food Industry. “Contests teach us what we are bad at and what we can do better. If we experience failure, it doesn’t matter. Failure will teach us the way to achieve success,” Thi said. He said that English classes should be taken at university because students will have little time to study English while working. The first two years after … [Read more...] about Students lack experience for startups
