Meet Tat Thang, a dedicated content creator and community builder in the Web3 space. He is known for his significant contributions to the Web3 and NFT ecosystem in Vietnam. He is actively involved in building Vietnam’s Web3 & NFT hub through the Vietnam Non Fungible Group (VNFG), and also serves as an ambassador for Open Campus. Tat is a creator at Creators Nexus and collaborates with Seedify, showcasing his passion for supporting new projects and fostering talent within the blockchain space.

Driven by a genuine curiosity about blockchain's potential to reshape industries, Tat Thang is now focused on making Web3 more accessible and fostering community growth in Vietnam.

A Leap into Web3: From the Military to Blockchain

Tat Thang’s background in the military and e-commerce equipped him with resilience, adaptability, and a solid understanding of business dynamics. These skills proved invaluable as he transitioned to Web3. His first encounter with the blockchain space was through NFTs and the concept of digital ownership. "The more I learned, the more fascinated I became with the potential of decentralization and community empowerment," he recalls. Inspired by the possibilities, he co-founded the Vietnam Non Fungible Group (VNFG), a community dedicated to supporting Vietnamese creators, collectors, and traders in Web3.

Clarifying Misconceptions About Web3

One of the biggest misconceptions about Web3 is that it's just a fad or a bubble. Many people view it as speculative or only for tech enthusiasts, but Tat Thang believes that Web3 has real, long-term potential to transform the internet and empower individuals. He points out that Web3 is much broader than just cryptocurrencies or NFTs. "At its core, Web3 is about decentralization, giving users ownership of their data, and creating more transparent and fair systems," he emphasizes. Although still in its early stages, Tat Thang sees the confusion and unpolished aspects of Web3 as simply part of its growth process. The ultimate goal is to build a more inclusive and democratic internet—something far beyond any temporary hype.

Navigating Challenges in the Web3 Job Market

Tat Thang first heard about Joba Network through the Web3 community. The platform’s unique approach to connecting talent with opportunities in the decentralized world intrigued him. He was particularly drawn to Joba’s commitment to empowering individuals to take control of their careers in Web3, a mission that resonates deeply with his own values.

One of the biggest challenges Tat Thang has faced in the Web3 job market is staying updated with rapid technological advancements and industry shifts. "Staying up-to-date with the latest trends can be demanding, but it’s also essential for success," he explains. The Web3 space is still relatively new, and traditional recruitment methods may not always apply. Finding opportunities and connecting with the right people can be challenging compared to more established industries.

To overcome these challenges, Tat Thang has taken proactive steps by focusing on networking within the Web3 community. He actively engages with professionals on platforms like X, Telegram, and Discord. "Engaging in discussions, participating in events, and collaborating on small projects has helped me better understand different opportunities and company cultures before diving in," he shares.
