Hello! I will visit Vietnam in june 2002. This is my personal trip to Vietnam but if I get the job I intend to stay. I am IT student, computer and science school. I am also a web designer, i maintain 5 websites and i have telecommuncations online business that brings me good money. I speak English. I am specialeized in internet marketing, web site desing, promotion,Searc hengines etc. But of course I know how to program in c++. Also I can do all kind of system work with computers. I of course master Windows,word,excel etc and all others program.

The only problem is that i didnt graduate yet BUT if i get chance to stay in VN i wil lstay before i graduate(if i stay then maybe i will never graduate). I need about 1 or 2 years to graduate . I dont want to wait so long and want to work in Saigon sooner.

Is there any chance that you get work by how good you are and not based on degree? I can work for free first month or so to proove myself . I hav all the knowledge but idont have a degree. I am prepared to work for smaller salary, i need jsut to cover my expenses and few extra dollars.

Do i have nay chance to find computer related work in VN? I have read that VN needs a lot of IT experts. I would be most happy to work as website marketer,promotion,design and do all other work what they need. Also i have several American contacts through my online business (telecommuncations site SaveMyBills.com and LDSearch.com two of sites that I entirelly operate alone) and telecommunications. I have 10 years of experience with computers and 5 years with internet desing and marketing.

Again, I am prepared to work for less money becasue I really want to work and relocate to Saigon if posssible.

Any chances for me to get some kind of job in Saigon based on what I know and wrote above? I know of course a lot more that I wrote there. Does vietnam need IT experts?

Yes, one more thing - I can of course finish my specialisation in VN if posssible- I can pay all my exams and study IF I can get some job.

Thanks,
Jon

Dear Jon
I`m sorry that I can not help you with finding a job in Vietnam, but it seems like that you are very excited about going to Saigon and with that attitude you should not have any problems finding an opportunity.

On the other hand I`m able to help you with adequate health insurance at a most competitive price.

Let me first introduce myself. My name is Kai Poepplau and I myself have been an expatriate for the last 6 years. I`m german but have lived in the US since 1996 and just recently moved to Shanghai. Because of my background and my current situation I fully understand the importance of adequate health insurance and financial services for people living overseas. Therefore I`m aware of how important this issue is for everybody who considers taking an assignment overseas. I personally work for GBG/Tiecare international, an american company that provides insurance and financial services exclusively for expatriates. I`m sure that you have been approached before and that it all sounds the same, but it is no coincidence that we have been in the business for more than 2 decades and that we can proudly say that we have a 60% market share of all US schools overseas and thousands of corporate clients worldwide. In Shanghai for example we provide our service to the staff of the Shanghai American School, Concordia School, Changning International School, Yew Chung International School, Hewitt associates, GE china, as well as numerous individual clients. We believe that in order to attract qualified employees an employer must be able to provide excellent coverage and benefits at a competitive price. Or if the company does not provide coverage you should be at least aware of what options are out there. Since we are the only company that has local offices worldwide, we are able to claim that we have more experience than anybody else and that our customer service is only a call away. If you would like some further information in regards of what we do, who we are, and what our coverage consists of please let me know so I can provide you with the appropriate material. Since comparison should be in your interest I hope to get the chance to compare our products and services with your existing coverage. I`m looking forward to hear from you, until then my best regards.

Sincerely Yours

Kai Poepplau
