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

Hello everyone,

Where is the best place to start when looking for a job in Myanmar? Is it better to job-hunt by directly contacting the company of your interest, or should job-seekers rely on a recruitment agency, for example?

Are there any unique aspects that job-seekers should consider when preparing their CV/résumé and cover letter? Should a photo be included?

Do you have any tips on interview conduct in Myanmar? Are there any particulars, such as greetings or behavioural customs?

In you opinion, is knowledge of the local language or a regional language necessary to successfully apply for a job? What level of the language should job-seekers have mastered?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

It's pretty tough here .....I attended two interviews....it seems like they prefer mostly Burmese and English language known ppl than expats...if they prefer expats ...,they want min of 3yr  to 5yr experience in teaching....in international school.
