Is there a time of the year when it's not so easy to find an English teaching job? How long is the school year

Re: Teaching jobs
Don't get offended by my question because I am genuinely curious. What is the continued attraction to teaching English in Phnom Penh? The place is getting more and more expensive while wages are still crap, the market for job searchers is getting more competitive, and it is becoming less of an adventure to live here. Why not go make 30 an hour in Vietnam, Myanmar, or the Middle East? Cambodia is still a great place to live for some, but why would TEFLers still want to work in the kingdom?

Aint it funny how we complain about crap wages here in the KOW, but meanwhile many Cambodians still get paid $100 pm or less for working 9 hours a day 6 days a week, cleaning rooms and restaurants,,,,, a lot less than clothing factory workers. No wonder there are a endless supply of workers wanting to work in Thailand, Malaysia etc.
My guess is ,if we want higher salaries we should do like Cambodian workers do, give up the easy lifestyle in Cambodia and work in another country.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Teaching jobs
In general, only idiots or retirees work in schools Cambodia. The Khmer push the rest out. The schools also seem to get a real power rush by keeping a barang-on-a-leash if they find one down on his luck by not supplying them with enough hours to escape.
But yeah mostly the smart ones leave pretty quick .

Re: Teaching jobs
I'm guessing it's much, much more difficult to get legitimate work visas/permits in the neighboring countries than it was just a few years ago. Those countries have also been cracking down on the easy tourist visa renewels which allowed many teachers to stay long-term in-country and work illegally in the past. Cambodia hasn't enforced all those strict visa controls just yet...although they are making strides towards stricter work visa oversight and it's only a matter of time before the gig is up for those teachers with questionable credentials and habits.

Yep, the whole school system will be shut down and rebuilt from scratch I'm sure. The bad teachers show up the good school managers .lolRutiger wrote:it's only a matter of time before the gig is up for those [] with questionable credentials and habits.
They may both use prostitutes,but not all bad teachers are thieves.
