My husband is a retail guy. He's been in this industry for more than 10 years, I guess. Before coming to Vietnam, hubby used to be employed in one of the biggest retailers in the Philippines.
The Vietnam job offer came in a form of an e-mail. At first, we thought it was one of those job scams being offered online. There were queries that needed some answering. So he responded and not so willingly e-mailed back the query form.
After a few days, there came a phone call from Vietnam....and then it led one after the other until they came up with an invitation to visit their country to meet him in person.
He was flown in by the company with hotel accommodations- all expense free of course!...then his final interview in Saigon finally took place. As soon as he was back in Manila, the offer sheet was already waiting in his inbox.
A few months after his visit in Vietnam, he found himself working in a foreign country where folks in pointy hats were once only seen in magazines and web photos.
I was happy and sad at the same time.
