Hi, I am moving from Ireland to Vietnam to teach English, I have TEFL and bachelors in Business. I am worried that there might be not a lot of jobs from in June July as schools are closed ? What is the best way of finding language centre jobs- online or face to face? Also, I think I will be living in district 1, many jobs there or should I live in another district ? Any help greatly appreciated!

About place to live, district 1 is always expensive. You should also consider district 2, 3, 4, 7, not so far from district 1 but you have to transport by bus or scooter a bit.

Summer is the peak time for the language centers in Vietnam. Because of the school holiday, they all offer intensive courses with a lot of activities so that parents have somewhere to drop off their kids.

You would be better off in Thailand . Theres not much here for newbies who are not acclimatised . It seems like it because of all the advertising , but most of the adverts are just the schools wanting to line people up just in case . try Thailand , They will take anyone and the conditions are better by far .

If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? Age discrimination is a real thing in the TESOL business in Vietnam. I was lucky to work for an academic director who saw value in older employees, particularly with respect to willingness to work for more than 6 months without moving on as younger employees tend to do.

Lots of jobs advertised on Facebook, not sure why you can't find any work.

These days, a lot more people are showing up to teach in VN. So, the supply of teachers may have reached a saturation point.
In addition, many of the schools, especially those who are focused on kiddy classes, prefer the newly-arrived inexperienced and as mentioned, younger teachers who are willing to work for less and have fewer expectations.
