\n2021 – <\/b>According to job opportunity data shared
\nby global recruitment specialists Michael Page Vietnam, the number of jobs in Q3
\n2021 compared to Q2 suffered a direct impact from the country’s Q3 pandemic
\nlockdown. New job positions opened were largely on the decrease within Engineering
\n(down 45%) and Human Resources (down 31%).<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.media-outreach.com\/Thumb\/500x0\/195960\/Mark-Donelly.jpg#image-195960\")

\nDonnelly, Director of Michael Page Vietnam<\/b>
\nPage Vietnam<\/b> observes, “With all
\nthe government lockdown regulations, many manufacturing sites had to shut down temporarily
\nin Vietnam. Engineering is a massive part of this sector and because quite a
\nlot of Vietnam’s GDP is in labour- intensive manufacturing, many companies in this
\nsector were not able to function for those three-four months.” <\/p>\n
\nthose manufacturing factories are now coming back into operations with a more
\noptimistic outlook, comparatively it was Vietnam’s Technology job opportunities
\nwhich saw the least impact. “Remote working escalated and that obviously
\nrequires a lot of technology and digital transformation. This is seen across
\nmany of Vietnam’s key sectors such as education, property and FMCG,” Mark
\nDonnelly<\/b> continues. <\/p>\n
\nreturns to Vietnam post pandemic lockdown, this optimistic hiring activity in
\nTechnology is expected to hold up across sectors. This will be driven by more
\ncompanies going through large-scale transformation projects and the incoming
\ninvestments into startups. Software developers and data analysts will be in
\nhigh demand here as they form key roles in those organisations. <\/p>\n
\nVietnam’s technology startup space, there is a lot of competing players
\nentering the market from around the world and Southeast Asia. They offer a variety
\nof ecommerce services such as banking, education, e-wallets or delivery. Apart
\nfrom the technology skills required to implement these online, Vietnamese
\nprofessionals at the management level are also in demand to lead and establish
\nthose businesses locally. A lot of them are aimed at providing accessibility to
\nthe population, so a larger percentage can either gain new connections to such
\nservices or these daily essentials can still be provided to the wider public in
\nthe event of another lockdown,” comments Mark Donnelly<\/b>. <\/p>\n
