pschwart, I would be prepared to believe you won't have a job when you arrive here irrespective of the assurances you have with the recruiters with whom you are communicating. That being said, if you have a degree, a TESOl or Celta certifcate - and some teaching experience - you won't have a problem finding part-time work.
The New Hanoian Website posts jobs on a daily basis and Mekong ESL does likewise if you are going to HCMC.
If you don't mind teaching children, you'll be offered a lot of work. Don't make too many assumptions about the quality or longevity of the work you might be offered but rather regard it as a starting point. You might be lucky. You'll need to have an exit strategy should the new visa regulations adversely impact on you.

Be wary of online job offers.

Think of it this way. Why would a school automatically want to hire someone outside of the country online?

Why would a company offer a teaching position to anyone without qualifications knowing full well that the legal requirements have changed!
I would tell them that I accept the offer on the condition they pay for my travel costs up front (return, e-ticket), my visa, medical insurance, put me up in a 3 star hotel for a month. And a monthly income of US$1,800 NET.
Is this outfit recruiting tourists?
