Job hunting Cambodia

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Although there is an Indian I know (member on this forum I believe) who has qualifications and works at one of the Phnom Penh universities.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Sure, there are certainly a lot of exceptions (I know a Nigerian teacher) but from what I have seen over the years in Cambodia and Vietnam, it seems considerably easier if you are a caucasian. Admittedly, I have never worked as a teacher, so my comment is just anecdotal.

Sorry but that went totally over the head 😅
Just fuckin with you. Most people say "teflers" who come here end up bums (99.9% are pretty normal people) but, I do suggest visiting the country before hand as I have met a few teachers who end up with such a culture shock they hightail it back home.
