My name is Antonio, I'm 54 years old. I'm from Canada, but Italian origins.
I've worked in 7 different countries, 4 different continents  mostly in the tourism and restaurant industry.
Seeing that Turkey is becoming a tourist attraction for many Europeans, I believe I can be of great assets regarding my working experiences and 3 European languages i speak(English, Italian, French)

Who and where would I need to seek to move forward regarding my request.

Regards,

Antonio

Hi sharon
People here like parties and such organisations.

Big events require sponsors or money

first start with organising small ones then go for big in İstanbul or Antalya. But you are late for Antalya.

Good luck

Memnun oldum! Görüşmek üzere!

Hi my name is Andrew and I have been married to Anne for 19 years. We host foreign students at home and had a 21 year old Turkish man  for 7 months who lives in the north of Turkey and we stay in toutch. We visited Turkey in 2017- woxxie hotel Antalya near Bodrum an loved it. We want to move to the Bodrum area with sea views and pool of which I have seen a few villas online at the price I can afford if I sell my house. My wife is diabetic and injects four times a day so medical insurance is something to learn about. We also have a dog that will come with us. We know about the dogs on the streets. We need to learn as much as possible about moving out there. I would ideally like to be near other UK expats. I am 55 and Anne is 58 I have a few years to decide what to do as in work or retire, but for me here retirement age is 57/58. I would  love a job out there or start a business out there. I am a Support worker and was a bus driver for 22 years, but my CPC on my license lapsed. I also sell on eBay where I have a shop. My wife is a dog walker/ minder - Anne's pet services. My biggest hurdle would be learning Turkish. Thank You for reading my post.

Thanks
Andy

Hello all,

I am a mechanical engineer who lives in Ankara since the childhood. I know the whole city well, please do not hesitate to ask me anything you wonder related to Ankara (hospitals, restaurants, accommodations, nightlife... you can literally ask anything you want). I am planning to move EU, Italy in particular before the year 2019 ends and I am open to all kinds of language and culture exchange.

Hello la meccanica,
Im planning to move ankara on april 2019. Could you tell me some websites to find a job?? Actually i have 7 years experience being specialist purchaser. Right now i came ankara to see how is it.

Thanks,
Regards

Dear Tatiana,

most popular local websites for finding a job are: kariyer.net and yenibiris.com but in my view both are useless. I suggest you to use LinkedIn instead of these, it's the best one and you can find a job in any country.

Thanks alot for your reply!

Please consider that basic salary in Turkey is $ 250/month  (net ) and you need work permit issued from Turkish Government which could be requested only  from the employer, this is mandatory to work legal and  live legal way in the country.

Renting a house in Ankara could cost you at least $ 200/month
Renting room in somebody elses home is not recommended as Turkey is middle east country and is
actually dangerous , as woman violance statistics in Turkey are relly very high.
