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.
