Following the concerns raised in this post I am very happy to say that I have secured a job with Mandarin Media.
With partners and employees spread between Saigon, Singapore and the States it’s fitting that they shall be able to refer to me as “Our Man in Hanoi”.
A big thank you to them for having faith in me – I was initially interviewed based on Twitter output and general online activities (blogging does pay kids). There were some Skype chats and a in-person meet up in Saigon.
I’ll be full-time from the start of June and will be chipping away at smaller projects in the meantime.
Most of the work is linked to this country’s tourism industry – something I view as absolutely vital for Vietnam’s development.
Long term we’re hoping to marry the media expertise at MM with a little of my social media experience. This is the TripAdvisor travel era after all.
Anyway, I am delighted to have a “proper” job again. In the end it was the quality of colleagues and clients that really impressed me.
I had been genuinely starting to worry about employment but, yes, everything in my life is very much now going to plan.
Hanoi always was my lucky place.
