Tell me your job interviews experience in vietnam by Monihon

I just did my first job interview here, and the feeling was the same that a criminal can feel while being interrogated by the police. If that is the way interviews usually are... Well, I'm a bit scared. Since the language is a big barrier, I may ...

jonchau

Coffee at Starbucks in Saigon sucks and expensive! by NashCat

Coffee and cappucino at Starbucks not the same as in Canada or States. Prices are expensive. What do they put in it, nuoc mam??

jonchau

I think drinks at Starbucks are fine, except their price. Starbucks coffee is just like KFC's chicken, Pizza Hut's pizzas or Subway's sandwiches: cheap for everyone in the US or UK, but 3 times expensive for an average person in Vietnam. I'll ... Read More
