Have you lost your job due to Corona Virus? Need a CV?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

My guess is that a lot of people who lost their jobs here (mainly teachers whose resume's are barely even looked at by most Cambodian employers) aren't interested in dishing out 50$ for a 50% off resume offer.
I think your resume service might be attractive to many Cambodians but 50$ (if I recall correctly) might be tad steep. A 20$ fee might prove popular in these financially trying times.

My regular price is $130 for a CV and cover letter, so I really can't go lower than $50.

If you have lots of clients at 50$ then good on you.
...But if you don't and want to capture a target market with lower purchasing power these days then I would come down a bit....Especially to appeal to Cambodians lucky to get 300$ a month jobs.Just the way I see it.

Wow. You have the option of lowering or increasing your price when you run your own business? :lol:

$50 seems low cost as it is.
