When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Turkey, they reponded...

"I am pretty sure any industry you care to mention exists in Istanbul, but even though I have a good resume with managerial experience in international companies and despite a lot of positive feedback and high hopes in other sectors, teaching english as a foreign language has been the only reliable way for me to make a living. After realising this is probably the case for many people I started to offer assistance based on my won experiences via my blog on www.englishjobsturkey.com I post any english teaching jobs in turkey that I am aware of an I even offer private students that I cant take myself," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Istanbul, Turkey.

"Most job opportunities come from Tourism. Hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, rent a car... apart from that, there is not much industry," commented one expat who made the move to Antalya, Turkey.
