Answer 1

I presume you are in the U.S? I was based in the U.K and found my jobs in Uzbekistan and then Uganda in the The Times Educational Supplement, this is our main teaching jobs paper (weekly) When I was teaching abroad earlier in the year I found my next job on line (TES Jobs) and just searched under "International" , applied on line and then interviewed by phone.There must be a U.S equivalent, but with teaching abroad and the Net I suppose it doesn't matter.
Alternatively there are recruitment fairs around the world at different times of the year if you can get to them. You will find all this in the teaching trade papers. I know people who have (paid for and) used "Search Associates" to help them find jobs. I have not used them yet, but I have heard no complaints and am going to sign up this year. There must be a U.S equivalent also.
I'm not trained as an English teacher (I'm teaching grade 2 now and loving it), I'm secondary Art and Design, and am now doing A TEFL course which will help my C.V no end... and teach me the grammar of my own language, which for me anyway was hard to explain even in the simplest form to little kids.
If you can't get a job in the country where you really want to go, teach somewhere else for the experience.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

First of all, you have to check what are the Cambodian requirements for foreign teachers. If you need more documents, I suggest you visit their embassy and inquire. You can also go on line and search for universities in Cambodia. Their websites have email addresses you can directly write to. Good luck. Why not teach in our own country? There are remote areas that need teachers to teach ESL.God bless.

Answer 3

There are English Teaching jobs all over Asia - if you are a native English speaker your prospects are high, if you hold a TEFL certificate (or equivalent) your prospects are also good. If you are both a native English speaker & TEFL certified - you'll have no problems! Good Luck!
