What are the dos and don'ts of finding a job in Cambodia?

Working in Cambodia? Forget it. Last year Cambodia said all foreigners need a work book and a work card wether you work here or not. So I paid for my work book. 9 month later I got my work book but no work Card. So I said.  Where is my work card, she said the government has changed the law/ rule. You don't need a work book or work card anymore. Ok, then where's my money? This year they changed it again as my friend in Siem Reap just applied for a new work book and work card but nowcyou need to take a complete physical which cost an additional $130 usd . I'm not doing this again and falling for their trap it's a total waste of time and money. I'll work here, but I'm not paying for a work book or card,,,no way
I'll move to Thailand, Vietnam or India

I moved to Cambodia 3 years ago from Thailand. Those of you may know the PITA it is to get a work permit there.almost impossible. I move here as a teacher looking for a job. Stayed at a nice guest house near the river to enjoy the time while I looked for work. I had my CV all together. Make sure you have extra pictures to give them. Went on line and made a list of schools. Doesn't matter if they are hiring or not they are always looking. I got my list and talked to a Tuk-Tuk driver and showed him the schools and address. I would do 5 schools a day in the morning and that''s it. On my third day of looking I dropped off a CV at a school got in the Tuk-Tuk went around the corner and they called me ( 3 minutes) after leaving. Went and did interview next day started the day after....I had a contract for 2 years and in that time I had picked up private students. I had so may private that I was making more money then my contract and I was paid after each hour ..cash in my pocket..(beer money)..It has been 6 months since my contract was up and I did not renew. I am now the GM of a brand new Hotel/Coffee Shop/Roof Top Bar thanks to my connections I've made with my private students. I still have private students but only a few but I keep turning away new students. I don't have the time. As for work permits, the school will arrange everything for you that is if your a good teacher and friendly...Life is good here if you relax and give it time...Be Nice

Sorry, I'm retired and don't want to walk anymore.
