GoodJob Academy: so easy for the lazy and the busy.

Here’s to the lazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who do nothing and stay lazy. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no motivation to learn. You can kick them, pull them, or try to move them. But the only thing you can’t do is make them learn. Because they are lazy. They push the laziness forward. And while some may see them as the lazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are lazy enough to think they should do nothing, are the smart ones who do.

STAY LAZY. EFFICIENTLY.

Businesses complain:

Even a company positioned as a super luxury, with outstanding developments over the past 10 years, founded & led by a businessman + professional artisan who has lived & worked for 30 years in Europe, is also "falling backward" with the characteristics of Vietnamese human resources:

– Serious defects in professional skills:
Vietnam almost lacks professional vocational training schools, for example: if you want to practice sales, you must have a degree (you specialize in selling certain items, in wholesale, you learn in retail, etc.), so businesses in Vietnam are very cautious. Disadvantaged when recruiting to work but having to re-teach everything, after the probationary period does not meet the requirements, the company still has to pay full salary (loss)… This is also the reason the salary level is low

– Poor discipline:
Just started work at 10 am but still late. After finishing time, we went to breakfast, makeup…
After going to the toilet, don’t close the lid… also have to teach…

Stop complaining and let GoodJob handle that problem for you! Micro Skills. Lazy. Busy. We take care of all.

Doanh nghiệp phàn nàn:

Ngay cả một công ty định vị là super luxury, có những bước phát triển vượt bậc trong suốt 10 năm, được found & lead bởi một doanh nhân + nghệ nhân lão luyện chuyên nghiệp đã sống & làm việc 30 năm ở Châu Âu, cũng "té ngửa" với đặc thù nhân lực VN:

– Khiếm khuyết nặng về chuyên môn tay nghề:
VN hầu như thiếu vắng các trường đào tạo nghề chuyên nghiệp, vd: muốn hành nghề bán hàng cũng phải có bằng cấp (bán món nào học chuyên món đó, bán sỉ học khác bán lẻ…) nên các DN tại VN rất thiệt thòi khi tuyển để làm việc nhưng phải dạy lại hết, thử việc xong ko đáp ứng cty vẫn phải trả full lương (lỗ) … Đây cũng là lý do mặt bằng lương thấp

– Kỷ luật kém:
10am mới vào làm nhưng vẫn đi trễ. Chấm công xong kéo nhau đi ăn sáng, trang điểm…
Đi toilet xong không đậy nắp … cũng phải dạy….

Đừng phàn nàn nữa đưa GoodJob dạy hết! Micro Skills. Lazy. Busy.

Press Release: ABN completed a key MIS project in Retail Banking in Vietnam.

Hanoi, Vietnam – 28.August.2023

ABN, a pioneering software provider in Asia, is thrilled to announce its successful completion of a flagship MIS report work in the Retail Banking sector. The project has delivered insights that changed the perceptions of our banking client towards its female client base, changing the way retail and SME products are perceived, managed, and marketed.

Project Overview

ABN embarked on a journey to study and find insights, through data, in the dynamic field of Retail Banking, to break the conventional norms and find out the hidden insights in the way to serve female clients. The project’s scope encompassed all retail and SME products of the bank, aiming to provide in-depth analysis and strategic insights.

Recognizing the pivotal role that women play in controlling not only household expenditures but also investment decisions, ABN’s MIS Report highlights that an overwhelming 80% of purchase decisions are influenced by women. Additionally, women controlled a staggering 72 trillion USD globally in 2020, underscoring their ascendancy in entrepreneurship and business (Deloitte & BCG reports).

Key Achievements

Through collaborations with the experts from WISE, the Development Bank, and client banking experts, ABN has been able to find out and deliver surprising insights and achievements that have immediate impacts on how banking products are structured, marketed, and supported, opening up multiple new opportunities for the bank.

The project pinpointed niche areas and potential bottlenecks in customer journeys, empowering the bank to make informed decisions and enhance customer satisfaction.

ABN’s MIS Report is pioneering for being the first in the banking sector in Vietnam to shed light on the significant influence of women buyers. This revelation underscores the importance of women in shaping financial decisions, both within households and in entrepreneurial ventures.

The project was conducted in the last 6 months.

ABN is committed to pushing the boundaries of banking innovation and redefining the landscape. Through the MIS Report project, the bank has once again demonstrated its ability to transform data into actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making.

As ABN continues to find new insights for our clients in various industries, including banking, our work stands as a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer-centricity.

We thank our partners, experts, and customers for making this happen.

The diagram below shows the quick comparison between REST and GraphQL.

🔹GraphQL is a query language for APIs developed by Meta. It provides a complete description of the data in the API and gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need.

ABN Tech Week trains engineers on the most important issues in building highly scalable software systems. The topic for today is: Reverse proxy vs. API gateway vs. load balancer

As modern websites and applications are like busy beehives, we use a variety of tools to manage the buzz. Here we’ll explore three superheroes: Reverse Proxy, API Gateway, and Load Balancer.

🔹Reverse Proxy: change identity
– Fetching data secretly, keeping servers hidden.
– Perfect for shielding sensitive websites from cyber-attacks and prying eyes.

🔹API Gateway: postman
– Delivers requests to the right services.
– Ideal for bustling applications with numerous intercommunicating services.

🔹Load Balancer: traffic cop
– Directs traffic evenly across servers, preventing bottlenecks
– Essential for popular websites with heavy traffic and high demand.

In a nutshell, choose a Reverse Proxy for stealth, an API Gateway for organized communications, and a Load Balancer for traffic control. Sometimes, it’s wise to have all three – they make a super team that keeps your digital kingdom safe and efficient.

ABN Tech Week trains engineers on the most important issues in building highly scalable software systems. The topic for today is: What is FedNow instant payment system? What’s the impact on Venmo and PayPal?

.
Federal Reserve launched FedNow instant payment service on 20 Jul. It allows retail clients to send and receive money within seconds and it is available 24×7.

🔹 What does this mean?

1. Peer-to-peer payment services in the private sector like Venmo or PayPal act as intermediaries between banks, so we need to leverage payment schemes for clearing and Fed systems for settlement. However, FedNow can directly settle the transactions in central bank accounts. [1]

2. Fedwire, another real-time payments system, will still function in large-value or low-value payments. FedNow is not designed to replace Fedwire.

The diagram below shows a comparison between FedNow and ACH (Automated Clearing House), which is used in domestic low-value payments.

🔹 FedNow [2]
Step 0 – Bob wants to pay Alice $1000.
Step 1 – Bob initiates a payment transaction using FedNow.
Step 2 – The sender’s bank submits a payment message to FedNow.
Step 3 – The FedNow service validates the payment message.
Step 4 – The FedNow service sends the payment message to the receiver’s bank, where it is confirmed.
Step 5 – The receiver’s bank replies to FedNow, confirming that the payment is accepted.
Step 6 – The FedNow service debits and credits the designated accounts of the sender and receiver’s banks.
Step 7 – The FedNow service notifies the sender’s bank and receiver’s bank that the settlement is complete.
Step 8 – The banks debit and credit the bank accounts.

🔹 ACH
Step 1 – Bob receives authorization from Alice that he can deduct from Alice’s account.
Step 2 – The payment transaction is sent to the receiver’s bank.
Step 3 – The bank collects files in batches and sends them to the ACH operator.
Step 4 – The ACH operator sends the files to the sender’s bank.
Step 5 – The sender’s bank pulls funds from Alice’s account.
Step 6 – Withdrawn funds are sent to the ACH operator.
Step 7 – The ACH operator distributes funds to Bob’s bank.
Step 8 – Bob receives the fund.
Step 9 – The clearing instructions are sent to Fedwire.
Step 10 – Fedwire sends clearing broadcasts to banks for settlements.
