So I got the call after applying for the job online via a reputable career website. I talked to them and they asked me to come for an interview. I told them that I'm Asian looking; and after much hesitation they then told me that they're very sorry ...

Just to share some thoughts. I don't think most of Vietnamese schools and Vietnamese parents discriminate Asian-looking English teachers. Like mojoyote has pointed out, if you come to meet the person-in-charge of recruitment face to face, you ... Read More

Well.....I concur with you but to a certain extent. Yes, Vietnamese parents prefer Native speakers because of their accent. They are the customers so schools sometimes have no choice but to deliver what the Vietnamese parents want. But There are ... Read More

I totally agree with you. I think I've been passed over many times for candidates who were less qualified and experienced than me just because I'm an Asian person and that person happens to be Caucasian-looking. It's partly racial ... Read More
