Most workers choose a workplace through relatives and friends.

Others choose based on the company's advertising and recruitment policies.

Quitting her leather shoe making job, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh (21 years old, Nam Dinh) decided to go to the company where her relatives are working. After 2 months of working, Ms. Ngoc Anh found that the previous reviews of acquaintances were quite accurate.

"I asked my relatives very carefully about the working environment, time and average income. When working, the regulations are up to 95% similar but very different from advertising companies" - Ms. Ngoc Anh said.

Ms. Ngoc Anh said that the advertising company announced that they only worked until 6pm, but in reality, they usually worked for an additional 15 to 30 minutes. Only the company's employees knew about this, the female worker was informed in advance, so it was not too surprising when she started working.

According to Ms. Ngoc Anh, being a relative introducing a job will increase the reliability compared to others. Although there is not much working time, the female worker believes that if the environment is not good, acquaintances will not introduce themselves to work.

For Mr. Nguyen Khuong Duy, whenever he plans to work at a company, he will go online to ask questions about that company.Where he searches for information is mainly review groups or groups related to the company.

According to Mr. Duy, this method is quite effective, helping him better understand his concerns when he is looking for a job. Because most of the commentators are people who have or are working at the company he wants to apply for.

They share very frankly information related to management, benefits, salaries and working hours. Even the hidden corners for me to refer to" - Mr. Duy said.

However, according to the male worker, finding information in this way must be screened carefully. Because many people commented incorrectly, the information was not verified like other reputable channels.

After synthesizing the comments, Mr. Duy will prioritize companies with many positive comments. At the same time, arrange criteria for scale, distance from home and good salary and benefits to choose a suitable workplace.

For Ms. Nguyen Thuy Dung (26 years old), the company's recruitment policies are of interest to her. Therefore, she will go directly to the social networking sites of companies in the area to learn and choose.

"I will spend time accessing companies' Fanpages to quickly see job positions and preferential policies. Then choose 2 companies that are suitable for the interview and then think about deciding which company to work for" - Ms. Dung said.

Ms. Dung said that she paid special attention to the benefits during work. When accessing the companies' Fanpages, they are recorded in great detail and quite accurately, so it is very convenient to compare and saves quite a lot of research time.
