Finding work as a foreigner can be tough work, with evident reasons being: 1. not speaking the native language, in this case: Turkish and 2. Not owning the correct documentation which allows you to work in Turkey. Evidently, this leaves employers hesitant on employing foreigners and therefore, it results in a case of you finding your own work or building your own business in order for you to survive abroad. It isn’t impossible to make a descent income, and there are a few ways and a few work paths that you could consider following in.
Seasonal Work
In the tourist destinations of Turkey, there is a higher chance of you being employed to work than in the less touristy areas of Turkey. Hotels, bars and restaurants are always on the lookout and in need of English speaking staff, so that they can communicate perfectly with the customers.
Ebay
The internet is constantly developing as a place to make money from home. And for foreigners, this is the ideal method of earning some cash, either, in their spare time or full time. Ebay is the most popular site across the world, for selling and buying goods and if you haven’t used it yet, it’s time to make use of it now! To create an account on Ebay is very simple and costs very little. It really is up to you how far you want to go with Ebay; whether you want to just sell things here and there or set up your own full time business. Whichever you choose to do, there is a likelihood of its being a success as long as you market your products well.
Your own business
Setting up your own business can be challenging, but can also be great fun too, especially if you’re doing something you enjoy. Try to set up a business that won’t face too much competition; try creating something original, or at least something which is in demand.
