I have tried a few sites that list jobs.. Im guessing a lot of positions get listed for local employees and I accept that...  Companies should employ local staff first.

BUT... how long does it take to find a reasonable Office Manager job in HCMC for an English person ? either the salary is very low or they prefer Vietnamese person for the job.

tried vietnamworks / careerjet etc... any others that people can recommend ?

It sounds as if you are saying two things which contradict themselves:

On the one hand, you consider yourself (very) qualified...?

On the other hand, you disparage your career field and your Vietnamese competition with "how long does it take to..." and criticizing the reality of the local prevailing salary rate.

The Vietnamese people value humility and gratitude, even before one has received what one is seeking.

I may be reading you incorrectly, but regardless, your best bet is to jump to the head of the line, by investing in coach class airfare and $15 - $20 a night in a Vietnamese hotel, spending your days pounding pavement and knocking on doors.

If you are as employable as you believe you are, certainly prospective employers will be able to realize the truth within 5 minutes of face-to-face time with you, and offer you much higher wages on the spot.

I truly do wish you (and thousands of others like you) good luck!
