ESC Gets an Intern

Employment Services Cambodia

Neth and I have been blessed to receive our first "intern" at Employment Services Cambodia. His name is Ryan. He is a very talented, kind man who has done an incredible job leading and developing a business in Phnom Penh called Punlak Thmey. Ryan will be donating 3 months of his skills in service to ESC. This is a big step for ESC; literally a BIG step as Ryan is about 6' 6" tall (i.e. just a little bit shorter than the combined heights of Neth and I). ESC will look very different now with Ryan's blond hair towering above Neth's and my dark locks. But all physical appearance discussions aside we are very excited to have Ryan join us for the next three months. He is an expert in business planning and feasibility analysis and he will help us to learn and grow.

ESC continues to be blessed with new clients (employees, employer recruitments, consultations, and trainings). It is exciting and challenging. I look back on the past 6 months and am kind of amazed that I have held the following titles/roles: Country Director for an NGO, Communications Specialist for an International School, Career Counselor for an International School, Co-Founder of an employment services company, trainer and HR consultant. That is really one of the nice benefits to living in a developing country like Cambodia; one can have so many diverse work experiences in a very short period of time. I am learning so much and growing in my professional development in ways that would take many years longer to experience and grow in the States.
