Tụi mình làm buổi talk này vì một điều rất đơn giản.

Khi nói chuyện với các bạn trong cộng đồng, tụi mình nghe đi nghe lại một câu: “Em không biết mình đang đi đúng hay sai nữa.”

Và thật ra, cảm giác đó… rất bình thường. Nhưng đôi khi, chỉ cần nghe một người đi trước chia sẻ, mọi thứ có thể rõ ràng hơn một chút.

AVFA mời bạn tham gia Virtual Career Talk: Mentor & Career Path, một buổi trò chuyện cùng chị Vân Hoàng – Co-founder Viet Mentor Abroad, người đã có hơn 10 năm kinh nghiệm trong HR & Talent tại nhiều thị trường.

Một buổi nói chuyện không phải để đưa ra “câu trả lời đúng”, mà để bạn có thêm góc nhìn cho hành trình của mình.

⚠️Boil alert lifted for Darwin, Palmerston, and the greater Darwin regions.

Paul Burgess NT Chief Health Officer has given an update on the boil water alert in Darwin, Palmerston, and greater Darwin regions.

''Upon receipt of water testing results from Power and Water corporation, across 35 sites across the greater Darwin and Palmerston region, we are able to cancel the boil water alert.

''So the water is now safe to drink coming out of your taps and I'm sure that is of great relief to the residents of the Darwin and Palmerston region. ''

________________________

⚠️The boil water alert remains in place for Katherine, is now in effect for Jilkminggan community.

''The situation in Katherine is there's been a significant amount of damage to the sewage infrastructure and the sewage leaks that have followed have yet to be fully contained.

''Until those sewage leaks are contained and we can guarantee safe water supply, the boil alert remains in place for the Katherine community.

''I currently understand there's no one at the Jilkminggan community but clearly that community has had great inundation and what we need to do is to restore the infrastructure of power and water, and to test the water supply to make sure it is safe. When that is done, and when residents are returning, then we can lift the boil water alert for Jilkminggan.''

⚠️ BOIL WATER ALERT - DARWIN AND PALMERSTON

A boil water alert is issued for Greater Darwin and Palmerston and surrounding areas due to the flooding of Darwin River Dam.

Use cooled boiled water or bottled water for:
• Drinking
• Preparing food
• Preparing baby formula
• Brushing teeth

Residents are urged to conserve the water supply for the above uses only.

NT Health will lift the boil water alert after Power and Water confirms the water supply system is fully operational and the water is safe to drink.
