Dear friends and people who claim to know me because of my fame,
as I told you in my last entry I accomplished my first task, to decrease the rate of accidents in Vietnam. Yet, it didn't take me much time till I found out the second weakness of Vietnam's population: poverty!
Almost 30% of Vietnamese live below the national poverty line and many people have less than 1 USD a day to live with (even worse, USD is not even the official currency of Vietnam). Many people cannot afford a second car or going to the hairdresser daily. The girls on the picture below never owned a playstation and probably never will! Instead, they have to play with toys made of grass and are outside most of the day. This poor conditions obviously give cause for concern!
However, those who know the attitude of Vietnamese can be sure they do everything to improve their financial status. Finding a job is one of the most effective ways to escape the poverty trap.
As one of the biggest obstacles is to write an application I, Mr.Fabulous myself, decided to consult the poor to help them getting a job.
At the following sample I will demonstrate the universal recommendations which I taught to the Vietnamese:
1. With a date which is far in the future, you demonstrate that you are fore-sighted and optimistic thinking. You show the ability to plan well-ahead.
2. Don't use the usual "Dear Mr./Ms. ...". Instead, a greeting such as "Excuse me Mister" or "Hey ho, Mr. Joe" makes your application get the readers attention from the beginning on. Also, just use the masculine form to indicate that you are not satisfied with talking to less powerful people (in Vietnam most higher ranking people are men).
3. Start the application with a question to demonstrate that you are in the position of power!
4. Often use the imperative form which indicates that you are a good leader. Repeat this imperative as often as you can and emphasize it by using bold letters and bigger size!
5. Be self-confident!
6. At this point of time, the reader will be absolute sure to offer you the job position. To avoid latter difficulties exactely tell the reader what he can expect from you when you are his superior in some weeks.
Goodbye!
