A Guide to Working Abroad in Turkey

Locations

Never before in history has a country launched itself into the modern world as rapidly as Turkey has. Given its rather large population, there are quite a few metropolitan cities where foreigners can find work in Turkey, from the capital of Istanbul to the old capital at Ankara.

Istanbul. Affectionately known as the “cultural capital of Europe”, Istanbul is home to one of the most inclusive and open communities in the world, making it an ideal place for foreigners to find jobs in Turkey. The only city that was built on two different continents, Istanbul is the perfect place to immerse yourself in a culture that is built on the foundations of multiple empires, a plethora of cultures, and a complex mixture of modernity and antiquity. Since Istanbul is a large city that holds a rather important position in the region, and the world, there are many different kinds of job opportunities available, ranging from au pairing and teaching English to hospitality and business administration.

Adana. Located in southern Turkey and a measly 19 miles from the beautiful Mediterranean coast, Adana is the fourth largest city in the country and an excellent place to work abroad in Turkey. Though much smaller than Istanbul, Adana still has enough of a big city feel to satisfy urbanites. Similarly to Istanbul, Adana features a range of job opportunities.

Ankara. The capital of Turkey since 1923 and located in central Anatolia, Ankara is a charming metropolitan city that is well known around the world. Ankara is a fine arts hub, encompassing the State Opera and Ballet, the Presidential Symphony Orchestra, and several national theater companies. The two most common types of jobs in Ankara for foreigners are teaching English and working in the sports industry.
