Looking for work in Turkey

Does working abroad appeal to you? Does it sound like a great adventure or a perfect get away from your home country? Or perhaps the opportunity to experience a new country and a new culture? Do not underestimate the situation: career hunting abroad requires more than translating your CV! Different cultures all require their own approach.

An ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach will not work. Stop sending out hundreds of more or less similar applications every week. Each job, employer and country needs its own tailor-made approach. No country has the same 'model' for a CV. An employer from your home country may need different information in judging a good candidate than a Turkish employer.
