Ms. Hoang Thi Minh, born in 1980, currently lives in Yen Nghia ward, Ha Dong district (Hanoi). Ms. Minh has worked at Hai Thanh Food and Trading Co., Ltd. (Nguyen Van Loc Street, Mo Lao Ward, Ha Dong, Hanoi) for 4 years, salary of 6 million VND/month. Ms. Minh's daily work is the detailed application of the number of dishes that the restaurant system is ordered by the company, then the food quantification with the purchasing department to ensure the right and sufficient prescription.

"My job is not complicated, it only requires precision when closing the book at the end of the day. Everyone said the job was too easy, however, after 4 years of working my current salary was only 6 million VND/month," said Ms. Minh.

According to Ms. Minh, she was originally from Yen Nghia ward, got people from the same village, and her parents-in-law gave her land to build a house, and her husband worked as a small-scale construction contractor in the locality. In previous years, she mostly stayed at housework and meals to serve her husband and children. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, her husband's job has been unstable, her income has not been 50% compared to before the pandemic, and she began to find extra jobs. However, it is very difficult to apply for a job at the age of 40, every place that submits Ms. Minh's application is asked about her experience, qualifications...

“Initially, I received a house moving work for families in the neighborhood. After seeing also unstable, erratic time due to the free time of the landlord, I decided to apply for a job. Although here the salary is low, I was signed a contract and insurance. The distance from my house to the workplace is only about 4 km. Sometimes when the salary is low, I want to move to another job, but I think about the requirements of experience, skills, I am afraid ... I think I am better than many colleagues, not having to rent a house, children are also large so still stick Tower, ”Ms. Minh added.

Old, difficult to apply for other jobs is also the reason Ms. Pham Thi Nga - worker 1 garment company at Chien Thang Street (Ha Dong, Hanoi) - hesitated to change jobs.

According to Ms. Nga, from 2015 before, orders, so the income of workers and workers is quite good, in addition to basic salary, there are also overtime salaries and products. After that, the company reduced the order and income of Ms. Nga from about 13 million VND/month, now only about 7.5 million VND/month.

"I also want to change jobs, but in some places they ask for jobs, they are all afraid to work as female workers in their 40s, not to mention that if they are accepted, they will also work dozens of kilometers further than they do now. Lifting them up and placing them down, I added my tongue to do it here," said Ms. Nga.
