I am looking to teach in Vietnam.?

Question

I am trying to apply for a TEFL position in VIetnam. I have been searching the web, but I can't find a proper site to put post my resume or to find jobs posted for Vietnam. I have tried eslcafe.com and tefl.com.
What other site are out there?
Any one site dedicated to TEFL jobs in Vietnam?
And, where in Vietnam is the place to go for work?

Answer 1

There are many international foreign language schools in Vietnam that you can apply for teaching position. I'd recommend you to visit some of most high standard schools like VUS, ILA, Clever Learn, British Council.... in Saigon as the following links:

Answer 2

Teachers come from all parts of the world come to teach in Vietnam, feel Saigon is the best place to work with the most colleges and good friendly people. In the Hanoi area they are not too overly friendly with the westerners, they have not forgotten the American war. The biggest problem is teachers don't always get enough hours to make a good living.

Answer 3

Try the Shane English Centre at http://www.shanevn.com/en/aboutus/index01.html the American Educational Development at http://www.americaned.net/TeachingEnglish.htm.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the largest city and one with the highest demand for English instruction. Next to it is Hanoi, the capital city.

Answer 4

I respect any posting from TomT concerning Vn. He is incredibly knowledgable.
One other suggestion would be to google VietnamWiorks.com.
It's a job board.
Good luck
