Have been in Phnom Penh for 2 weeks getting my CV out to schools that are running summer programs + to a couple tutoring services & applying to all advertised jobs. The waiting gets on the nerves though.

hey busman, I'm 57. and am curious if you had much hassle finding jobs. age factor and all ya know.

In Thailand it would be impossible at my age, 57 might be easier but not much, so far in Cambodia I have only had 2 interviews, most places it's just drop off CV advertised jobs there is a closing date for applications which hasn't been reached yet.

The interviews I have had, 1 was a tutoring service that was OK with my age, the other a kindergarten school, of course preferred females but would use me if they weren't available.

Also it's near the end of term at some schools & mid-term at others so it's taking longer than it would nearer the start.

OK so 2 1/2 months is enough of trying to find a job in Cambodia, emailed an outfit in China that claimed to b able to find work for anyone, they never even had the decency to respond. Kind of a waste of $1200 for the TEFL course though.

Seems that at 65 society relegates one to the scrap heap, so it's back to El Salvador to concentrate on my B&B.

Will be stopping in Hawaii, the last of the 50 states to visit, on the way so the trip won't be a complete loss.
