Hanoi job festival offers over 4,000 job positions

Businesses in Hanoi provided over 4,000 job openings during an annual Job Festival on March 18, creating abundant opportunities for young workers entering the labor market.

The majority of participating companies operated in the trade and service sectors, with additional representation from other industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare.

Mr. Vu Quang Thanh, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center, emphasized that the diverse range of industries at the event matched the job search needs of workers and students. This alignment, he noted, allows job seekers to find positions suited to their abilities, paving the way for stable, long-term career development after graduation.

Companies offered competitive salary packages tailored to different roles and industries. High-paying positions with salaries of over VND10 million ($392) per month were predominantly targeted at experienced professionals in areas like business, information technology, management, engineering, and supervisory roles. These positions often demanded specialized skills and the ability to handle high work pressures.

For stable roles such as accountants, office staff, receptionists, and skilled general laborers, monthly salaries ranged from VND7 million to VND10 million ($274-392). Meanwhile, entry-level positions—often requiring minimal skills—such as part-time jobs or roles for fresh graduates and general laborers offered salaries between VND5 million and VND7 million ($196-274).

Additionally, some companies allowed for salary negotiations during interviews, offering flexibility to meet the expectations of potential employees.
