Vietnamese corporate culture

hello all,

please advise if i am posting in the wrong area.

i am new to this forum and Hanoi. i have been in hanoi for 2 weeks now, and i believe i might be in a bit of a pickle.

i want to know what the vietnamese corporate culture is like.

-bottom line: will they check to see if I indeed hold 2 degrees? even though i have only one.
how severe are the punishment? as in the States, I would be fired and penalized salary and such perhaps?

- but if they dont actually do a full background check, i think i would be ok doing my intended job description. i had no intention to "inflate" my resume.

-what is the best course of action?

i want to know, because i want to turn the job down, since i think that it will be too difficult for me to explain, my reasoning for my actions.

when i applied for my job here, and set to transfer... i said i had 2 degrees. very big mistake on my behalf.

i do have a degree in communications, but i don't have a 2nd degree in english.

-i know totally my fault. but, as i didn't realize that my field was going to be in English, i didn't know how to say that i MINORED in English.

thank you all for your help.
