NGOs and desperate marketing

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.

NGOs and desperate marketing

Post by StroppyChops »

This is pretty poor form, IMO.

Got an email from LinkedIn with the latest job offers for Cambodia, and noticed this from Sunshine Children's Villages:

Great, except that's a volunteer position. Most other NGOs put the word 'volunteer' in the job listing, so how desperate does one 'fund' need to be that they'll use click-bait in this way.

I saw quite a few of those at camhr.com and bongthom.com. There were also a few opening positions advertised on Linkedin which paid close to 6 figures salary.

I see this time around, Sunshine Children's Villages have readvertised with the word "Volunteer" at the start of the job listing. I'd say somebody over there is reading CEO.
