Career Change

Availability comes down to your qualification. For example, recently got contacted by Vincom group for Director of Marketing position. What I see is that whatever skillset you have, you try to be part of that industry community to give yourself maximum visibility...ergo more incoming career opportunities.

I have a degree in Public Services (Army, Fire brigade, Paramedic, Police and Security) but most of these jobs can't be done by a foreigner, right?

Hi. I'm relatively new but I'm fairly certain that those functions are local-only type thing. That would of course be unfortunate because I do have healthy respect for your qualifications.

Actually, with increased number of foreigners living/visiting Vietnam, I would think that the more forward thinking hospital (that targets foreigners) would want people on their staff that can help them communicate with their non-Vietnamese customers

Vietnam is definitely a great place to live. Besides being a teachers, expats are moving here to be a IT specialists, designers, etc. Even being a staff at NGO is also great for foreigners.

Well plenty of opportunities awaiting here! Hiring foreigners is now fashionable for many multi-national companies in VN, especially in HCM city. You may wanna check this out: vietnamworks.com/ho-chi-minh-jobs-v29-en. Good luck!!!

where is the link?

Hi, Really don't know why the link disappeared. Can u just try google vietnamworks? It's a reliable job site in VN. Some jobs are posted in VNese, some are in English, but now most high-paid jobs require Eng-speaking people.
