ESL in Vietnam

Daniel, this question has been asked many time...

But degree +cert = good school (or least it should)
$$ anything from 10-25 ph depending on school and your negotation skills. like any other job
Do the course here if you can, that way you will meet some local teachers and start building connections here which is also helpful to start with.
Cost of living... several recent threads on this just below your question, but rent anything from $250 pm upwards depending on where you want to live and if you want to share or not.
Best bet stay in a hotel for a month or two till you start finding your feet and find work that way you can find accommodation to suit you better.
No point in applying for jobs prior to coming here as without experience and certification your unlikely to get a response. Once here if you want it, you will find work both in HCMC and Hanoi.
