Hi everyone!
Can you please let me know whether or not the schools and/or the language centers in Vietnam would view it favorable if I take the TESOL in the U.S., instead of doing it in Vietnam? I am planning to take the TESOl course (full-time, four weeks long, class fee is 1,730 U.S. dollars) here in Phoenix where I live before moving to Vietnam this September. I don't know if the schools would look at my TESOL certificate any more favorable (easier to get hired, a bit easier to get good teaching job, etc.) or they would prefer that I obtain it in Vietnam. And yes, I do have a BA, just in case you wonder.
As you may recall, a few months back, I had a post here asking for suggestion in pharmaceutical work:

From what I have heard, and at least for the kind of work that I am interested in, which is either middle management in pharmaceutical industry or teaching ESL, I would have a better chance in finding work once I am in Vietnam. Therefore, I am trying to line things up base on Vietnam's perspective.
I am finally able to organize my work, family, and life here in order to make the move this September. I am anxious, excited, and nervous at the same time.
Thank you in advance for reading this and for your feed back!
