Freelancers in Việt Nam face chances and challenges
Viet Nam News More and more Vietnamese people are choosing to work freelance. The road, however, is not as smooth as it seems, according to insiders, Khoa Thư reports. HÀ NỘI – As the wind started howling, Bùi Văn Dương pushed himself out into the thick curtain of pouring rain. Having worked as a freelance driver for Grab for almost two years, the 30-year-old man knew for sure that he could not make any more cancellations that day. The ride-sharing platform is now understood differently in Việt Nam. Instead of offering lifts in your free-time for extra cash, many consider Grab driving a full-time job, creating a workforce of freelancers in the ride-hailing industry as other applications like Go-Việt, Vato or Be fight for market share. “To me, freedom was this job’s selling point,” Dương recalled. The motivation pushed him to switch from a normal employee to a Grabbike driver. “However, it … [Read more...] about Freelancers in Việt Nam face chances and challenges
Will rating tour guides boost their quality
Viet Nam News By Phương Anh Tour guides are known as cultural ambassadors for their country and community in the eyes of local and foreign visitors. Whether guides can deliver quality service to tourists is not only essential to the success of their company — and themselves — but also to the image of the tourism industry in Việt Nam. With the aim of encouraging tour guides to improve their performance in order to better meet the needs of travellers, the Việt Nam Tour Guides Association (VNTG) is launching a pilot programme to rank guides on the basis of their capacity, knowledge and skills. By classifying guides into categories ranging from three to five stars, the VNTG hopes it will be easier for travel firms to hire and pay adequate wages to tour guides. But the questions persist: Is it really necessary to rank tour guides? And how can something as subjective as tour guide performance be ranked, given that different tourists have different needs … [Read more...] about Will rating tour guides boost their quality

Young workers refuse to settle for “only OK” jobs
Businesses and employers decry the tendency of young Vietnamese workers to change jobs frequently, Photo: Le Toan A new trend A recent survey conducted by recruitment firm Navigos Group on more than 3,000 Vietnamese people born between 1980 and 1986 found that 69 per cent of respondents said they were considering moving to another job, while 70 per cent of respondents said that they work in a company for an average of four years or less. It is easy to see that young Vietnamese people’s level of commitment to an organisation is not high. The reports show that the rate of job changes among young employees is on the rise. They are always willing to change their jobs for many reasons such as low pay, unsuitable working environment, an unhappy relationship with their bosses and colleagues, and many more. The job-hopping trend among millennials goes against the traditional work culture in Vietnam, where state-owned enterprises hire graduates and employ them until they retire. The … [Read more...] about Young workers refuse to settle for “only OK” jobs
