 Currently, the TEFL job market in Vietnam is excellent. Presently, Global Crossroad's partnering schools in Vietnam offer airport pick-up, orientation training, field support, and a variety of benefits (airfare re-imbursement, assistance in acquiring a visa, free meals, living accommodations, and vacation).
Schools in Vietnam are hiring English-teachers year-round and offer contracts of various durations - ranging from one (1) month to a year. Schools in Vietnam insist on ONLY native, English-speakers as teachers - English is their first and primary language - and that those interested be mentally and physically capable of teaching English in front of a group of students and have the ability and willingness to adapt to Vietnamese culture AND living.
With just a little patience and dedication, successful graduates are certainly able to quickly locate work - usually in their preferred area/region. For more information on these English-teaching positions in Vietnam, go to: http://www.globalcrossroad.com/paid_teaching/vietnam/
