Now we have to find jobs. There are plenty of jobs here for foreign teachers, but you have to sift through and find the right ones. At first it was a little slow, but then Julia got offered a job to teach summer school starting 2 days later. http://www.apu.edu.vn/ APU is where she is working, teaching kids that didn't pass their classes in the regular school year for 3 hours, twice a day. They don't want to be there, so that makes her job pretty hard.
I searched around for a little longer and have been to many interviews and demo classes. One day I got a call from Horizon http://hibsvietnam.com/ and went in. The administrator asked a couple of question and then said, "do you want to start tomorrow?" I took it and taught 9th graders for 2 weeks. This summer school was all about having fun. I was encouraged to play a lot of games with the students, while speaking English of course. I had fun and got some more experience and confidence from it. It was a nice international school and I enjoyed the kids.
