I am with you

Gentlerespect76:



You are right @ Whyna. I have been able to send tens of CVs and received a few responses. At the moment a university I sent my documents to had accepted me but are asking for a short introductory video on my education and work experience.

I am hoping to do one tomorrow after pushing off some pressing assignments today.

At Whyna you have not been able to reply my email. But I am still grateful and content with what you are doing here. Thanks

Thanks a lot action Lady!
I appreciate you beyond words asking God to strengthen your arm, amen.

Someone earlier asked if you applied without the TEFL certifications, please respond.

aguizm:

Good morning bro, please did you apply with just your naija certificates without those their celta and the rest certificates? Please I am asking cos I am also interested in migrating to Vietnam. I have a very good experience in teaching especially in areas like phonetics, reading and writing.

Gentlerespect76:



Actually, the organization is a University and they are looking for lecturers. They did not specify TEFL, and CELTA but mentioned a Master's degree in English and above. They also specifically stated they needed native and non native English lecturers.

But the bottom line is that you need a TEFL or some other English teaching certification to be able to teach English in Vietnam. If you are able to get a school or organization willing to take you and then arrange for you to get CELTA/TEFL or TESOL, it's all beautiful. But it's not easy from what I am seeing.

Note: From what I am seeing, it might take till last quarter before the Viets will open their doors to the world. So why not as part of your preparation begin the online program? And please ensure that the certificate you are given after the program does not indicate the mode, that is online.

We are all striving towards the fulfilment of our travel dreams and I pray God grant us good speed! If I make any progress be sure I will report it here for everyone's benefit.

Gentlerespect76:


Sorry bro. Hope the post above answers your query.

All the best to us all!

I must commend the OP for bringing this thread up and consistently updating it. I’ll also like to appreciate everyone who has posted comments here. God bless and crown all our efforts and endeavors with success.

I have been greatly inspired after reading the thread from page one up till this last one.

I’m already in the process of signing up for an online TEFL program as my schedule will not permit me to attend any in-person training. In fact, I intend paying this coming week.

I’ll appreciate candid opinions from gurus here.

What are my chances of securing a job abroad after this program.

NB: I have a BSc and teaching experience.

Pls reply.

lucasalves:


From my experience when it comes to obtaining the cert they might prefer the "in person class" to online ones but if you got the online one from a very reputable online school then it's all good... You might need a video demonstration of you teaching in front of a class and an introductory video proving why you are the best man for the job. It will help to know how to greet in the local language and a little of the culture. After that say your prayers and rest assured in a few weeks time they are calling you to come as quick as you can. Make sure to have an idea of the salary they are willing to offer and compare with cost of living in the particular city.

WhyNa:


Well done!

Try and get the TEFL, after that, I'm confident they will take you 80%. You have a very good profile. The other 20 is probably based on your demo or online interview or intro or teaching video.

Good luck bro. Remember to negotiate big when the time comes

millionstars:


Glad you made a good progress. Please update us more when you arrive in Vietnam. I think you can create a new thread for everyone to follow.

aguizm:


Yeah, just saw it now. Thanks and may you be successful in your application.

Gentlerespect76:


Wow Millionstars, thank you oo.
Rest assured I will when I get to that point! May God help us all!

richmanrichard:
kudos to you @Whyna, you've done well& am inspired! Pls, what's d fate of I.T faithfuls in Vietnam? You said something about 'proof' b4 som1 can receive/deposit funds. Are there any exemptions for freelancers whom gets most of their pay online and abroad?

WhyNa:
I think bank policies differ and you can ask questions before banking with them.

Also, I never said you need proof to receive money. Just to deposit and there are ways around this.

azubix:


My brother you dey vex oh lol. He was just joking sha and I believe he has gotten the correction.

Please @all, beyond fun let's take this Vietnam seriously, if Nigeria never tire you guys e don tire me. @Whyna has wet our mouth very well. Please let's keep researching and saving money. Personally I have given myself this year and at most next year to be in vietnam by God's grace. From what @Whyna told us and from my personal research, 2m is The target amount we need to be there and have some change to at least last for month plus before we get a job.

Let's focus our questions to her on our findings that is confusing. Let's not repeat questions she has answered already and let's not ask her unnecessary questions. Remember she has not stayed up to a year there so she needs time to hustle hard, have some good savings and be more relaxed.

Let's know too that we will still need her assistance when we get there, whether we go through Agent or a TEFL school.

Above all, las las we go dey ok. Udo diri unu.

Gentlerespect76:


@Millionstars you are right. But have you ever been inspired by other people's dreams?

Well I have. Don't go back again, let's concentrate on the task ahead, okay.

@ House, I was eventually able to send the introductory video as requested by the institution yesterday afternoon. But the way is still far from the dream, so I'll keep pushing relentlessly. Will update if anything positive comes up as promised earlier.
