I share you one more recruitment website in Vietnam, it is Nghenghiepviet.com where there are newly job opening in every province in Vietnam and updated CV of both experienced and newly graduated student. Giving more chance for someone who is looking for a new environment and companies find more excellent staffs.

Next, be prepared for the tortuous process which follows, e.g. Work Permits & Labor Contracts, et al.

The regulatory and enforcement landscape has been a changing recently. It’s getting ever more difficult. Familiar loopholes are closing. Limitations on the number or percent of foreign workers are being enforced. Getting a work permit is now said to take a minimum of 6 months. It might take a year; and it’s only valid for that one employer. Without that, there’s no ‘blue card’ (residency permit). Immigration is tight. Even the once sage professionals with ‘contacts’ seem befuddled. There are no more 6 month visas, it’s 90 days tops – expect to exit and re-enter. The jury’s even seems split as to whether a local marriage helps. But there is almost universal agreement that being a professional athlete (soccer) works wonders.

There’s much speculation about the reasons: the economic downturn, a flood of foreign blue collar workers from China & elsewhere, taxes, crime, or just weeding out ‘undesirables’. A credible source stated in late 2008 there were about 5,000 foreigners living in HCMC, and now (in late 2009) there were 4,000. A December news item underscores a new inhospitable tone: Vietnam | Foreign workers without proper documents now face deportation http://shar.es/mg4Iv . One of Vietnam’s longest continuous foreign denizens says “it’s the worst he’s seen in years”. He still remains optimistic that “things will pass” in time.

Best to find an employer ready, willing, and able to deal with the process. If your dream does come true, one last bit of advice as you rush to pack. Don’t forget to bring your original degrees/diplomas/certifications etc. They all need to be certified genuine by the consulate, translated and notarized here in Vietnam by an officially sanctioned office[r]. Also, a very recent criminal records check from your local Police Department in the original. This you may might find out is going to require your actual physical presence to obtain. Get your papers lodged ASAP, and hang on the the receipt with both hands.
