Hello everyone,

Finding a job in Cambodia is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in a whole new country. If you聮ve gone through a job interview in Cambodia before, how about giving a few tips to someone who might be preparing for one?

Do interviews usually take place in a formal or casual setting in Cambodia? Do you have any pointers for job interviews that take place over a lunch or dinner?

From application all the way to the job interview, what is essential to make an candidate stand out?

Culturally speaking, are there specific do聮s and don聮ts? What is the general take on bringing a parent on the job interview or a gift to the interviewer?

Can you tell us a little about your experience? What worked and what did not work for you?

How important is it to have a solid professional network prior to a job interview?

Please share your experience,

Priscilla

Be confident.

They always want somebody who they could trust the work. Show them that you have the ability to do it and you will be glad to share it with the local staff.

Hi, I was thinking of moving to Cambodia soon. I was wondering if you could advice me on the job market there. I have enough savings to last me 6 months there but beyond that i will have to look for work to meet my daily expenses and rent. I do not have any special skills, I have a masters in Financial management from the UK and have lived in the UK for 10 years but i am ready to do any kind of work. Should i search for a job before coming to Cambodia or should i just travel there and look for work.聽聽Your help is highly appreciated. Sorry to bother you. Hope you have a great day ahead.
