Explain your experience in the context of the role

When seeking work in Turkey, connect your background with the company’s stated duties and working environment. Demonstrate technical, commercial or language abilities through verifiable achievements. Ask how much Turkish is used with colleagues, suppliers and customers, even when the vacancy is described as international or involves contact with overseas markets.

Obtain written terms before travelling

Clarify the employing establishment, payment currency, working hours and any expenses the employer will cover. An intermediary’s statement about formalities does not replace checking with the competent authority. İŞKUR, UİGM and Kariyer.net offer different resources for separating vacancy searches, professional conditions and work authorisation before committing to a move.
