Teaching English in Vietnam?We Answered:
Hey Lam,you again -really want to go?
So, the English teacher - if you have no experience with teaching - forget it!
All backpackers getting stranded in Vietnam try to be the teacher.
You need experience how to teach - references would be helpful.
TOEFL certificate or something would be perfect - just to be native speaker is not enough - these days are over, even in Vietnam.
You could get a job easy and maybe good to start with in Central Vietnam where all the new resorts will open soon - they always need an English trainer - you wont get paid a lot, but a room and food and for some fun you won´t need much money.
Good luck!

What are some jobs foreigners can do in Vietnam besides teaching?We Answered:
The best bet would be to come here...as a teacher.Once you establish yourself, use your connections and network yourself into something different.
To work at an NGO, you have to have a proven skill that they are looking for at the moment.
If you don't have a proven track record OR a solid network, you're not gonna get anywhere fast.
I came to Vietnam in 1992 to do one thing and changed careers two years later when the opportunity presented itself.
Forget exporting furniture, there are a million people doing it already and they have the inside track and connections.

You know them teaching jobs abroad?We Answered:
use www.tes.co.uk (free) to look for jobs. You do not need a teaching certificate or PGCE qualification. You will require your passport (obviously) and a TEFL certificate (short course 2 to 4 weeks) on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. A good sense of humour and desire for some adventure are also important. Great experience!Kathy Said:

BillyB ... this is a repeat ... here is the answer from the 1st posting ...There are literally thousands of teaching jobs overseas ... check out JoyJobs.com (there is a fee), or join either Search Associates, European Council of International Schools, The International Educator, or International School Services which are all placement or search groups to assist teachers find overseas positions.
You will need a current teaching certificate, at minimum a Bachelor's degree although a Master's is preferred, English fluency, a current passport with four years or more on it, a minimum of two years experience, and a minimum of four references.
No, you speak English in the classroom, that is why you were hired ...
Hope this helps ...

Teaching in Vietnam - is this a good deal?We Answered:
If half or more of your paycheck will have to go to your bills (other than living expenses), it'd be difficult but you can make it.Assuming you'll be in only a 15% tax bracket, the gross pay of $ 1200/mo will give you just $ 1020/mo net pay. Half of that (after the bills) is $ 510 to live on.
You won't be able to have an apartment of your own but sharing a 1-bedroom apt with a roommate is possible (at $ 200/mo each). Food can be managed at $ 200/mo., leaving you $ 110 for clothing, transportation and incidentals.
It'll be a frugal life but by no means impoverished, considering Vietnam is still a poor country (improving but still poor) where even a doctor does not make much more than $ 1000/mo.
