Please feel free to contact me **, I'm recruiting foreign teachers teaching in HCMC

hi

Im looking for a teacher .

Do you available about 2 - 4 p.m on the weekend ?

Hello Nicole!

I am actually looking for entry-level sales people to join my team.  It could be a great opportunity if you're interested.  Otherwise, the job market is pretty slim unless you have your TEFL or TOEFL certificate and want to teach.

Let me know if you're interested!

Best,
Khang

Ps. I posted the JD on https://www.expat.com (below)

Hi Nicole, I'm a Vietnamese-New Zealander and I was in the same situation as you 9 months ago. I'm now settled down with an English teaching job. If you need some help setting up, message me.

where are you from
what language can you teach ?

If you are asking the OP, Ms Nicolealex21, you can simply click on her avatar circle and see that she lives in the US and presumably is a native English speaker.  Easy, no?

Good advice by all for all
Really enjoying this forum

Whoa, these are heavy questions!

A WP costs what, 20 million? Surely, employers will want to see candicates lasting through the probationary periuod.

I found lots of liars who claim to want foreign teachers, only to get a "free ride". Or they promise outlandish things, then not keep the promises. Be careful. Go sign a contract.

Hi
I am seriously looking at doing a TESOL or TEFL to teach English in Vietnam.
I am currently living in Australia, but I am looking for a role in Vietnam.
My actual experience is in construction and property management.
I am an articulate speaker and proficient writer of the English language.
Any tips or advice?

You don't mention having a college degree.

That's a requirement in order to be legally certified as an expert and work legally as a teacher.

This post will be giving wrong information to the ex-pat who is looking move to Vietnam. If anyone wants to work in Vietnam, they must have a work permit; otherwise, they all illegal workers.

There are various TEFL certificate courses offered throughout the region, but the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) from Cambridge U. is generally considered to be the most highly regarded.

You can read about it here:

There are 4 centres in VN:
Apollo Education and Training in Hanoi
Language Link Vietnam in Hanoi
Apollo Education & Training, International House Ho Chi Minh City
ILA Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City

In terms of finding work, you should be contacting the schools directly in order to gauge the level of demand, what their requirements are and what your options are.

You can post your CV and view ads on expat.com here:

Lots of ads here and you can post your CV if you want to:

Or, just search online, for example:

You should still remain cautious because some schools may also be a bit dodgy. Also, you should realise that in VN, most of the teaching involves entertaining young children and teens.
