Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí tuyển dụng này.

Yes. Ứng tuyển means to apply for a job/position.

• ứng relates to responding or putting yourself forward
• tuyển relates to recruitment or selection

Together, ứng tuyển is a common formal expression used in job contexts.

Examples:

• Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vị trí này. = I want to apply for this position.
• Cô ấy đang ứng tuyển vào một công ty lớn. = She is applying to a big company.

It is more formal and job-specific than a general verb like xin.

Tôi means I. In this sentence, it is the subject.

Vietnamese often allows subjects to be omitted if the context is clear, but in a standalone sentence like this, tôi is normally included.

So:

• Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí tuyển dụng này. = clear and complete
• Ứng tuyển vị trí tuyển dụng này. = possible in notes, headlines, or very context-heavy situations, but less natural as a full sentence by itself

Also, tôi is a neutral and polite way to say I, especially in formal or professional situations.

Vị trí means position or role.
Tuyển dụng means recruitment or hiring.

So vị trí tuyển dụng literally means something like the position being recruited for or the job opening.

However, learners should know that this combination can sound a little repetitive depending on context.

Very common alternatives are:

• vị trí này = this position
• vị trí đang tuyển = the position currently being hired for
• công việc này = this job
• tin tuyển dụng này = this job posting

So although the sentence is understandable, many native speakers would more naturally say:

• Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí này.
• Tôi ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.

It is understandable, but it is not the most natural phrasing.

The part vị trí tuyển dụng can sound slightly redundant because:

• ứng tuyển already tells us this is about applying for a job
• tuyển dụng also relates to hiring/recruitment

More natural versions would be:

• Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí này.
• Tôi ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.
• Tôi nộp đơn ứng tuyển vị trí này. = I am submitting an application for this position.
• Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vào vị trí này. = I would like to apply for this position.

So the original sentence is understandable, but a learner aiming for natural professional Vietnamese would usually shorten it.

Vietnamese does not always translate prepositions word-for-word from English.

In English, you say apply for a position. In Vietnamese, ứng tuyển can directly take the job or position as its object, so no separate word is always needed.

That is why these are both possible:

• Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí này.
• Tôi ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.

The version with vào is also common and can feel slightly smoother to some speakers:

• vào here is somewhat like for/into

So English for does not need a fixed one-word equivalent in every Vietnamese sentence.

Này means this.

It comes after the noun in Vietnamese, not before it as in English.

Compare:

• English: this position
• Vietnamese: vị trí này

So:

• vị trí này = this position
• công ty này = this company
• người này = this person

This is a very important word order difference for English speakers:

• demonstratives like này usually come after the noun

The sentence follows a basic Vietnamese order:

Tôi | ứng tuyển | vị trí tuyển dụng này
subject | verb | object

So literally it is something like:

I | apply | this job position/opening

Vietnamese often uses a straightforward Subject + Verb + Object pattern, much like English.

Inside the object phrase:

• vị trí = position
• tuyển dụng = hiring/recruitment
• này = this

And remember: này comes after the noun phrase it modifies.

Sometimes, but they are not the same in tone.

• ứng tuyển = formal, professional, common in CVs, interviews, job postings
• xin việc = literally ask for a job, more informal and less polished

If you are speaking in a professional setting, ứng tuyển is better.

Compare:

• Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vào vị trí kế toán. = professional, suitable for business contexts
• Tôi đang xin việc. = I’m job-hunting / trying to get a job

So for a sentence about applying for a specific position, ứng tuyển is usually the better choice.

A Vietnamese speaker might say it, but in formal writing they often use slightly softer or more polished phrasing.

Common professional alternatives:

• Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vào vị trí này. = I would like to apply for this position.
• Tôi xin ứng tuyển vào vị trí này. = I respectfully apply for this position.
• Tôi nộp đơn ứng tuyển vào vị trí này. = I am submitting an application for this position.

So Tôi ứng tuyển... is grammatical and clear, but adding muốn or xin often sounds more natural and polite in real application language.

It can function in more than one way depending on context.

Usually, tuyển dụng means to recruit / recruitment.

Examples:

• Công ty đang tuyển dụng nhân viên. = The company is recruiting staff.
  Here it behaves like a verb.
• quy trình tuyển dụng = recruitment process
  Here it behaves more like a noun or noun-like modifier.

In vị trí tuyển dụng, it works like a modifier describing the type of vị trí:

• a position related to hiring
• more naturally understood as the position being recruited for

This kind of flexible word class behavior is common in Vietnamese.

The best natural options are:

• Tôi ứng tuyển vị trí này.
• Tôi ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.
• Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.
• Tôi xin ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.

If you want a good all-purpose professional version, this is very natural:

Tôi muốn ứng tuyển vào vị trí này.

It sounds polite, clear, and suitable in many real situations such as:

• emails
• interviews
• cover letters
• messages to recruiters
