Later, she also took photos for the An ninh Thu Do Newspaper. Nhat Le was very proud when her image was printed in old wall calendars in families.

She had to go through 3 rounds of general knowledge test, voice test and screen test. Although she had no experience hosting a program, Nhat Le overcame many other candidates to be selected.

Since then, Nhat Le has completely turned to journalism. She believes that everyone has a destiny, a predetermined path and this profession is a predestined fate for her. Nhat Le is satisfied and loves her job.

Nhat Le confided:"In the past, the station had a television mailbox, and among the letters sent to the station were letters from the audience to me. There were words of encouragement and suggestions for me to do better. I kept them as a memory and to me, that is a very precious thing."
