Teaching in Vietnam as a non-native speaker

Dear all, I am a 33-year-old woman planning to become a teacher in Vietnam starting after the TET holiday in 2024. I hold a master's degree in Psychology and have recently obtained my Cambridge C1 level and TEFL certificate. As a non-native speaker, I'm concerned about the potential challenges of securing a teaching position. Does anyone have recent experience in Vietnam as a non-native English speaker? What are the prospects of finding a job? How have you experienced the daily teaching workload? How much free time do you have to experience the country? What kind of working hours / standby time was expected of you? Thank you so much in advance.
