Mobile service – an opportunity for job seekers

The service, which is a joint initiative by Thodo Multimedia company, MyWork.vn portal, and military-run mobile network Viettel, is considered an effective channel connecting job seekers and employers.

Dao Cong Hai, Deputy Head of the Department of Overseas Labour (DOLAB) under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs, said the new mobile application helps reduce unemployment and provide an excellent forum for job recruitment.

However, he said, it is essential to ensure the accuracy of information on employment opportunities.

Phan Viet Hoan, who is in charge of MyWork Mobile, said the application is an effective tool, enabling job hunters to be more proactive, narrowing the gap between labour demand and supply, and reducing the wastefulness of high-quality labour.

Vietnam now has more than 900,000 unemployed people and 72,000 of them are postgraduates.

Nguyen Ngoc Han, Director of Thudo Multimedia Company, revealed MyWork Mobile, the first of its kind in Vietnam, will offer more convenient applications in the next few months, allowing employers to directly contact job seekers via chat or online calls.

According to Khong Van Dong, a senior official from Viettel ICT, MyWork Mobile is a good application that can reach out to all localities across Vietnam in line with Viettel’s strategy of bringing information technology application into daily life.

Viettel mobile phone users can access the free employment service by logging on http://app.mywork.vn, or sending an SMS text VCT to 6094.
