VIVISA REAL INTERVIEW🎤 (2) Menya Seoul - Duc Minh - Vietnam

“The part-time work hours and environment were perfect” — Menya Seoul Part-time | Duc Minh (Vietnam)

Are you finding the perfect part-time job for you? 💼

This time, let me introduce Duc Minh, a Vietnamese student comfortably finding a part-time job with VIVISA's help while excellently balancing studies and work. 😀

— Hello, nice to meet you. Could you briefly introduce yourself?

Hello, I'm Duc Minh from Vietnam. I’ve been in Korea for about a year now and I am pursuing a master’s degree at Yonsei University.

— Have you tried many part-time jobs in Korea?

My first part-time job was at a Vietnamese restaurant. I saw an ad on Facebook and went directly to interview. But the work hours didn’t match my study schedule, so I left. Now, I’m working at Menya Seoul for my second part-time job.

— Did you encounter any difficulties while looking for or applying to jobs?

Initially, Korean was a significant barrier. I was very nervous during interviews and when talking to the manager. But now that I'm more accustomed to Korean, language difficulties are almost nonexistent.

— What is the most important condition when choosing a part-time job?

The first condition I consider is safety. The most important thing is whether the salary is paid correctly and whether the job doesn't cause visa issues. The next is the comfort of the work environment. I’m satisfied if the time and atmosphere suit me, even if the hourly wage isn't very high.

— What was the most helpful thing when applying for jobs through VIVISA?

They helped by adjusting the interview time and relaying questions I wanted to ask the manager beforehand. I would have been a bit anxious if I had to contact directly, but they were helpful and trustworthy.
