You may also go for a walk to look for job openings. Do not underestimate this as many employers in Istanbul prefer face-to-face meetings and other human interactions. Most employers post job ads on their doors before going to websites.

Many employers want to know who their job applicants are and what they look like – not just their educational background or job experience. This practice might seem unnecessary, but many employers do not take job applications without photos attached. You may want to get a passport-type picture in a booth in the subway, then paste it onto your resume.

There are no shortage of job offers in Istanbul. There are many expats in the field of engineering, information technology, human resource and education, design, business, marketing, and sales. There are also huge opportunities in press and communication, advocacy and legal field, shipping and logistics, research and development, science and medical field, administrative, and finance, audit, and investment field.

Your best bet for landing a job in Istanbul is teaching English. Check out the Internet and put together a list of academies and then start calling them one by one. Some of them require applicants be certified, but many institutions could not care less. There is more demand here than supply.
