In Hanoi, the fair will take place at the Army Hotel in Ba Dinh District on May 11, while the event in HCMC will be held at the Novotel Saigon Center in District 3 on May 18. Both events will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Speaking at recent press conference, Consul General of France in HCMC Vincent Floreani said last year’s event attracted more than 700 candidates and 47 companies.

This year, the organizers expect 250 candidates in Hanoi and 400 others in HCMC. They will look for jobs offered by more than 40 French and Vietnamese companies, which are active in a wide range of fields including commerce, distribution, communications, education, information technology, construction, service, hospitality and transport.

Some prestigious companies that will participate in the job fair include Accor, Capgemini, Fusion Resort, FV Hospital, L’Oréal and Michelin in HCMC, and Aden, Amica Travel, APE, Bolloré, IFI Solution, Paris Laundry Dry Cleaning, and Saint Gobain Vietnam in Hanoi.

The forthcoming job fair is aimed at giving French and Vietnamese companies the opportunity to meet and recruit Vietnamese and foreign professionals.

It will offer these candidates, especially Vietnamese who have studied in France as well as those who have obtained a French degree in Vietnam, a chance to learn more about participating companies and inquire about recruitment and career prospects.

The fair will also feature a number of workshops that show participants how to compose an impressive resume, write a professional cover letter for job application and have an effective job interview.
