🌍

Contexto cultural

The concept of 'tìm việc' is heavily influenced by 'quan hệ' (relationships). Many people find jobs through word-of-mouth or family introductions rather than just online listings. In big cities, 'tìm việc' is now dominated by apps like LinkedIn and TopCV, reflecting a more Westernized, merit-based approach. There is a trend of 'tìm việc trái ngành' (finding work outside one's major), as many students realize their degree doesn't match their interests or market demand. Older generations may pressure children to 'tìm việc nhà nước' (find a government job) for the perceived lifelong security (biên chế).
