The post-Tet job market and opportunities for women
After Tet, the demand for job searches increased. According to the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Human Resources Forecasting and Labor Market Information (Falmi), up to 18.75% of enterprises are expected to expand their staff after the holidays, creating many job opportunities for workers.
In addition to many new opportunities, lack of experience is one of the big challenges for many women. In addition to a stable job, women also need flexible time to both ensure income and take care of their family.
Recognizing this need, Yakult Vietnam is implementing a large recruitment round for the Yakult Lady position - a job especially suitable for women after Tet. According to Ms. Do Thi Cam Tien - manager of Den Hoa store, Ho Chi Minh City, the number of applications increased after the holidays, mainly from women who want a stable job but are not bound by time.
Start the new year with a suitable job
Yakult Lady is a work model that originated in Japan in 1963 and is now present in many countries around the world. Yakult Lady's main job is to deliver Yakult towers, consult products and share knowledge about gut health directly with customers. Not simply a sales job, Yakult Lady brings opportunities for communication, learning and developing soft skills, helping women become more confident in work as well as life.
Currently, more than 2,400 Yakult Lady are operating in Vietnam, and this number is still increasing rapidly in the first months of 2025. This shows the appeal of Yakult Lady for Vietnamese women - those who want to be financially independent while still having enough time to take care of their families.
Mr. Hiroshi Ueno - Sales Director of Yakult Vietnam - said that the company is not only recruiting but also committed to building a friendly and mutually supportive working environment among Yakult Lady.
He shared: Stable income, flexible working hours, and opportunities to connect with people around are outstanding advantages of Yakult Lady. And to give Yakult Lady a favorable working environment, you are arranged to work in an area near your home, making it easier to take care of your family and yourself. Even if you do not have any work experience, with the support of staff and Yakult Lady colleagues, this is a simple job that everyone can do."
Yakult Lady has helped many women overcome worries about income and have a more stable life. Ms. Nong Thi Thoi (Yakult Lady, Long Bien store, Hanoi) - a Yakult Lady with nearly 4 years of experience - shared: "I used to worry because I had no sales experience. Thanks to the dedicated support from the store manager and a systematic training process, the job helps me be proactive about time, work while taking care of my children without having to worry about finances".
