On the first day of working at the Company, Mr. Nguyen Huu Thuan (born in 1998, An Giang province) - said that he will try to produce to earn an income to cover his living expenses.
“At the end of the year, many companies posted recruitment information, so I applied and was lucky to be accepted. On the first day at the company, I was trained in welfare policies and regulations. In the following days, I will learn about work skills. With this new job, I will try my best to be productive, earn income to take care of myself and support my family,” said Mr. Thuan.
Expect high Tet bonus
With a stable job, Ms. Can is not only happy because her income is enough to cover her living expenses but also expects a high Tet bonus. “Thanks to our good income, my husband and I can take care of our two children during the school year.
