Hi, can anyone tell me what other job opportunites are available for westerners in Vietnam, other than teaching English.

Thanks Kim.

Hi Kim,
Pls let me know which major you like so i would reccomend you some.
Best regards,

I'm interested too regarding this question,
as I'm a civil engineer.

There are 2 famous website for jobs in Vietnam: www.vietnamworks.com and www.kiemviec.com. You should access there and register. Good luck

I forgot. Another is www.vipdatabase.com. This is for high level applicant. Or you can send your Cv to this, last time, they noticed me a position for a Construction Director.

Its is free to look for a job in Saigon. you need not pay anything to the agent. Good luck

Thanks a lot I will try

I found a lot of jobs posting on vietnamworks.com . However, I must warn you guys that it is excruciating slow to get anything going. I am currently living in Florida US and have been searching for a suitable in Vietnam, Saigon specifically for about 3 months now. I finally got a name of a Human Resource Director for a foreign bank in saigon through a VP of that bank whom I know here in the US. Even with that, it is still a very slow proccess. I very much doubt it if anything will come at all. WHat I have found is that companies will post jobs but they all want to meet applicants in person for interview. It is a big challenge for expat to do that. Anyway, it's great that I stumbled upon this site. As far as Kim's question, I think teaching english is always an option if you are CELTA or TESOL certified. I got a couple schools willing to pay 1300-1700 USD a month depending on experience. Check your options out.

Vinh: the web address you gave, Thuy Co ... is that a headhunting agent?

Thanks all

Yes, Andy Lang. Thuy Van company is a hunting agent and normally, you dont have to pay any thing to the agent if you get a job.
