How was it then?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was young, I enjoyed watching TV commercials, especially those with humanitarian values, brands that conducted charity programs and supported the poor and helped children go to school from their revenue. I hoped that one day I could work in such jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enrolled in a university with a good marketing program where I participated in many useful communication activities for my future work. As a student, I had the opportunity to work for the marketing department of some major companies in Vietnam such as Abbott U.S. and Prudential. I graduated early with an excellent degree and was one of the top 10 outstanding students in my department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I joined marketing in the fintech field in Japan, I had 3 years of experience in real estate marketing in Vietnam. It was a great learning experience, but I quickly realized that I wanted more creative control over the projects I was working on. So, I decided to go abroad and look for a job where I could have more autonomy in my work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After arriving in Japan, I searched for a convenient online money transfer service. At that time, most money transfer companies in Japan required customers to transfer money via remittance cards, one card for one recipient. Instead, I wanted to register and verify my account online, transfer money anytime, anywhere, top-up and place transactions online, with transparent fees and rates. The most important thing was to transfer money quickly, and I could confirm the transaction status immediately to feel at ease doing other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when I stumbled upon Smiles, the company’s mission resonated with me, a startup that focused on a mobile remittance app. At that time, Smiles was a new service that was not supported in Vietnamese. After researching, I thought I could do something to improve this service and help more foreigners living in Japan find a safe and convenient money transfer service with high exchange rates, affordable fees, and good customer support, and\u2026WE DID IT!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joining the team at Smiles was a breath of fresh air. At Smiles, we are creating a more positive and inclusive workplace culture and I love being part of a team that is truly passionate about making a difference. Smiles has been giving me many opportunities to work on a variety of projects that have challenged me creatively and allowed me to grow professionally. I feel grateful to be part of such an innovative and inspiring company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am demanding in my work, so sometimes, I get stressed, but above all, I love my job and the people I work with. I am happy to strive here and see the achievements of myself, my team, and the company through the years, which motivates me to develop every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, Smiles has many donation programs that have helped many people in Japan and in my home country as well; this fulfilled my childhood dream of helping others<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
