Hi As an ex pat living and working in HCMC, and being a regular and appreciative user of this site, I must say that in recent months I have been disappointed to see that some advertisers make no effort to reply to a contact. That's to say ...

OK, I was willing to tell my experience, but the thread was in flames. It is still very far from being clean, but lets hope the war is over now... I sent some resumes and the answer I got is the same the opener got, silence. Not even a "we got ... Read More

Monihon

I saw them refusing 100 000, which seemed to be the standard (lol), but accepting 200 000. Maybe price for foreigners is higher. Maybe you are the first foreigner there and the owner is giving the usual for a Vietnamese, and that's why they ... Read More

Maybe the police is asking for money to register people, and maybe that's why the owner of your apartment doesn't want to do it himself. You may need to do it yourself. Get the form(s), fill it and carry to the police. If they ask you to get ... Read More

Tell me your job interviews experience in vietnam by Monihon

I just did my first job interview here, and the feeling was the same that a criminal can feel while being interrogated by the police. If that is the way interviews usually are... Well, I'm a bit scared. Since the language is a big barrier, I may ...

Hi, I am yet to arrive in Vietnam but I am about to follow my boyfriend (he has a new job in Ho Chi Mihn). I am originally from England and have spent the past 2 years working abroad, working for a year in a 5* hotel in Egypt, working with ...

Monihon

In your case, I will search for English schools at HCM and send them a resume (or maybe they offer jobs on their home pages). Being native speaker and having experience with kids, I think you will find something soon. I think that there is a big ... Read More
