New members of the Cambodia forum, introduce yourself here

Hi Domi

I am new to Cambodia , been here 4 times in the past but this time I want to live and work here .

I would like the opertunity to work for an NGO but really don't know where to start. It seems pointless sending out my CV randomly to organisations .

Could we have a chat some time maybe you could take all at my CV and offer some advice ?

Best Regatds

Hi everyone,
I have just moved to PP with my boyfriend. We will be staying for a few months and are looking to meet other fun people to hang out with and explore the city together. We are 25 and 33, from England and India, and are easy-going, chilled out people.
Regards, Katie

Hi,
First when you come in Cambodia be sure you r cover for health in case of accident or disease. I support my consulate with an organization so i can tell you a lot about it.
Secondly now i encourage people to send cv to recruitment agencies so they will help you. Companies don t trust expats who just arrived. Joined some voluntary job and you will see if you cope with people, culture, living.
Third party with network events, meet people and open oportunities to make people to know you better.
Then explore because you have a lot to discover, temples and jungles, white sand  islands, mountains and tribes...

I am sure you will find the way of happiness.

Hi Guys,

I just got here in Cambodia doing some work, paid and unpaid. I plan to work and live here because I like the way  how it's structured. The theme is relaxing and the currency for mode of payment can easily be calculated.

I teach English and looking for a part time job only, ideally, because I really work for the business industry doing different sorts of things under the umbrella of Marketing and advertising. My plan is to advance myself in Public Relations and Online work such as Online Newspaper offering services such as press release writing, social media and more once I feel ready to launch it. The theme would vary from the usual business setup but I definitely won't get out of the box.

Akin, I have been traveling around Asia for now before I head on smoothly to low temperature countries among white. For the meantime, I will proceed English teaching since it's been what I've been doing for the past 10 years in  cram schools and other institutes but I would release myself from it, too.

I would be glad to meet new friends and interconnect.

Cheers,
Sally Trumpeta

Hi,

NGO is not really fun and lucrative. As you keep on trying for cosideration, if I may suggest, try opening up another option that may be lucrative and fun. Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Jeevan here moving over early Jan. Will be based in Phenom Penh. Been over a couple of times this month so far. Gotta say the language barrier doesn't make it easy (english is basically the only language i know). Im from Malaysia but lived in Sydney previously . Would be great to meet some like minded company for a couple of drinks , traveling and better yet some football.

Hi Jeevan, my boyfriend would certainly be up for playing some football when you are here - and we can also share a beer or two. Drop us a message when you're here and we can work something out. Safe trip, Katie (and Yash)

Thank you.

Hey all,

My name's Logan, I'm a 22 y/o male from Washington D.C. I'm moving to Phnom Penh at the end of the month to intern for a magazine. I'll be living in the city for a minimum of six months, but could be staying longer if opportunities arise. Any advice would be appreciated-- what I should expect, what to bring, things to know etc. I'm also looking for a place to live, so I would love to hear recommendations for housing placements. Cheers guys

Hello to everybody, I'll arrive to Siem Reap very soon and  stay for two months. I hope to organize a good business for a cambodian rural family. If all will be ok, I will comeback and stay for a long time.
In this time I'll study and improve my English with a teacher I met by Expat.

Hi all,

I'm Kristi. I'm 29 and from the United States. I just arrived in Phnom Penh to volunteer/work for four months at a women's rights NGO. I'm also hoping to do some freelance writing because my background is in journalism. I already have a place to live but I'm hoping to make some friends who enjoy going to dinner, exploring and might be up for some weekend trips.

Hope to hear from all of you!

-Kristi

Looking at Cambodia as my next adventure.  Been living and working in Mexico for the last 10 years but ready for a change.  Originally from Canada. I have been traveling to Cambodia since 1999 and it's my favourite place in all of SE Asia.  Excited!

Hello Claudia,
Welcome to the forum!   Just curious what you find about Cambodia that makes it your favorite place in SE Asia, what differentiates it from the other countries here?  I have heard that from a number of other people too.   Interested in what you think.

Hi all,

Newbie on the Cambodia forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Cambodia if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

It's many things.  The people, the culture, the history, it's not as congested as other parts of Asia.  There is a good energy there that I feel when I'm there. There also seems to be opportunity.  I would like to start a small women's co-op/micro finance project for my garment designs, which will be for export.
