Ms. Nhung used to work as a laborer at Tan Thuan Industrial Park (District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) with a decent income, but due to a single-parent family situation, she had to return to her hometown to find a job and take care of her elderly mother and young child. Recently, due to unstable employment, she decided to come back to Ho Chi Minh City to find work. Seeing the job posting from PouYuen Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Binh Tan District), Ms. Nhung registered and successfully interviewed for the job. Now she has a job at the company.
Currently, PouYuen Vietnam Co., Ltd. needs to recruit 1,000 workers and is willing to hire workers over 40 years old if they have skills. According to the recruitment information, the company commits to fully implement insurance policies and welfare benefits according to legal regulations. The company and the Trade Union also support workers in difficult circumstances by giving gifts on special occasions such as holidays, Tet, and birthdays. In addition, the company provides transportation for workers from Tien Giang, Long An, Tay Ninh, Ben Tre, and Dong Thap.

In 2023, the company faced many difficulties, resulting in a reduction of over 9,000 workers. However, by the end of 2023, the company announced that the order situation had improved, ensuring job stability for workers.
