Hey everyone,

Still planning my trip to VN for next August/September.
Just wondering if I should apply for jobs and be sure to have a stable income before leaving or if I should apply for some once I'm there?

Also, in terms of housing, worth having some VN friends help versus agent?

Thx,
Mere

Employers usually want to see the goods when they make hiring decisions, in any country.

Have you ever been hired for a decent job without meeting an interviewer?

Check your PMs.

Haha no, good point.
I'm just worried about under-planning.

If you rely immediately on the income here, make sure, you have the job first, despite it will decrease your chances of getting one.

You should have at least funding for up to 6 month in holiday mode and a safe return. You might need less time, than it's your saving.
