I am a teacher. This is all something I have experienced before. So any issues that most of you will have, and complain about here, are just minor asides in my world that I handle with nary a worry nor thought.pedros wrote:So any updates Mr Arrival, having secured a job, under your own steam and by your own merit (by probably just doing what was suggested/c'mon sense)?
How's the director? Little shits giving you much jip? Been paid yet? etc etc.
In addition, most of you who complain about Cambodia obviously have not lived in multiple undeveloped nations as an expat, for if you had you would know that Cambodia is basically what Earth is like in the developing and undeveloped world.
PP looks normal to me.
Now if you begin to compare the air here to that of Finland...sure, you guys will have 16,000 posts to complain.

Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.

My above comment was about the local culture.
PPA, I didn't believe your first post because my experience 4 years ago was very different. I got the first job I went for with enough hours to live on (just about). 22.5 @ $10 - 10% tax per hour.phnompenharrival wrote:I told you about your errant opinion of the JOB MARKET, DM.DetroitMuscle wrote:Are you delusional?

Over the last few weeks I have been looking and it's def a lot dif now. They seem to have more teachers and they won't give enough hours. I have 2 jobs at the moment and none of them have given extra hours yet. Still onward and upward.

Keep at it, SCC. I pounded the pavement and sent out ~45 CV's. With real experience and a good CV and pro attitude, the top centres and schools will hire if they have an opening. You just have to go to every school, reply to every ad, email everyone you can. Those with jobs, though, they really do not know the current market so they are surprised when you tell them. Word is out, many people are moving to Cambodia to seek jobs and opportunities.SCC wrote:PPA, I didn't believe your first post because my experience 4 years ago was very different.

If you stick around, usually those types of places will assign more hours to those with the right attitude.

^^ which is as it has always been, you get a few hours for one term, prove yourself and then more will come. If you don't get offered more hours after one term they are telling you something.

You say you have been teaching here for four years SCC, in that case you should have either a good reputation or not already. The business that we are in is very incestuous and I use the term poetically not literally and word of good teachers and teachers needed is often just word of mouth. After arriving in PP 16 years ago from SHV I have had one job interview and that was the first one , every job since has been offered to me including the current one. If you're good at what you do , toe the party line ( to a certain degree) and don't fuck it all up , then job offers/hours should come. Money makes money, working makes more work.

How the fuck are they supposed to learn English with all that Khmer being spoken? Seems to me it should been the white lackeys holding the microphones giving instructions and the Khmer assistants translating only if necessary.
