Life

youth

Early career in Berkh soum

A personnel officer initially offered Oyunerdene a job as a security guard, which he accepted. After only 10 days he got the position of “Head of the Secretariat of the Governor” from Berkh (Khentii) , just because he had fulfilled the requirement to reject the work.
