Reasons why many workers only temporarily work as workers

Quế Chi |

In addition to those who have been with the company for a long time, there are many cases of temporarily working as workers in industrial parks, for different reasons.

Present at the recruitment board located at the entrance to Thang Long Industrial Park (Dong Anh district, Hanoi), Mr. Luong Van Huong (Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang) carefully reviewed and carefully used his phone to take photos of recruitment papers with job positions that he was interested in. The young man born in 2000 said that when he was in his hometown, he raised pigs and had an unstable income. Listening to your introduction, a week ago, he rode a motorbike to Hanoi to find a job as a worker.

Through your introduction, as well as my research, I see that businesses in Thang Long Industrial Park have better salary and benefits than in some other provinces. The total income of workers is quite stable (from 7.5-12 million VND/month), depending on whether the company works overtime or not" - Mr. Huong said.

Mr. Huong took the recruitment exam to work as a worker at 2 companies, but was not accepted. He said that he had enough points, but due to limited recruitment, it was not his turn. Not discouraged, he went to recruitment sites as well as the recruitment list in industrial parks to find other suitable positions.

While not finding a job, Mr. Huong had to stay at his friend's motel.

"When I find a job and have an income, I will rent a separate room to facilitate my activities" - Mr. Huong said.

However, this young man does not consider workers as a profession that he will stick with for a long time. He said that he will work for a while for personal reasons, and at the same time, to earn income and professional experience, then find another direction in his hometown.

Unlike Mr. Huong, Mr. Nguyen Hai Anh (from Dong Anh district, Hanoi) came to find a job for his friend. He has now found a job as a product polishing job in a company in Thang Long Industrial Park.

Previously, Mr. Nguyen Hai Anh worked at the post office, earning about 12 million VND/month, but had to work at night. After that, because this unit cut staff, he was among those who lost their jobs. Under pressure to make a living, he applied for a job in an industrial park and was accepted to work seasonally in an industrial park company.

His income in the first month of work was only over 5 million VND. However, this income will be increased to 8-9 million VND from the second month. His income is less than his previous job but he doesn't have to work at night. However, due to fear of exposure to chemicals in ball making, the male worker plans to work for only about 6-7 months, then will look for another job.

According to the young man, his wish is to become a truck driver. "At this time, I temporarily work as a worker to earn an income to ensure my life. After that, I will calculate the next steps to be able to follow the profession I want said Mr. Nguyen Hai Anh.

When interacting with reporters, many workers said that what they care about most when reading recruitment information is the salary and benefits of each company. From this information, they will decide whether to submit an application or not.

Companies offer many treatment regimes, allowances, and subsidies to attract workers.
