NEED A JOB (Uni Student Foreign)

The title says it all tbh. I am in my 4th year and about to start my last semester in February. Honestly I am tired of looking and applying for jobs. If anyone knows anyone or could help me out in ANY way to get me a job, I would really appreciate. I can share my CV if u can dm me with any help. I am really skilled but it’s just hard as you know for a foreign person especially student to get a job here. I am pursuing business and specializing in Marketing. I would do GREAT as a marketing specialist or anything related to Marketing. I was born and raised in Dubai so I have a lot of experience over there working with several companies. Would really appreciate some help. And by help I mean GET ME A JOB haha.

Why is Eastern and South Eastern Anatolia and the Black Sea region not touristic?

For vast majority of people, when we think of Türkiye, we think of course of İstanbul and the Mediterranean coast and Cappadocia but cities like Trabzon, Gaziantep, Mardin, Van, Hatay do not get much credit. Why is this? I think it's some of the best parts of Türkiye, where the culture is different from the Western parts. Hatay, Gaziantep and Mardin give off Middle Eastern vibes with their ancient feel and kebabs and Baklava. I think that Many people that like traditional Turkish food do not really know the origin of the cities they come from and believe that they are necessarily from Istanbul. Why do you think this?

Temu güvenli mi?

Bu soru daha önce sorulduysa özür dilerim, konuyu araştırdım ama AskTurkey'de bir paylaşıma rastlamadım. Temu'dan daha önce sipariş verenler deneyimlerini paylaşabilirse çok mutlu olurum. Temu güvenli mi? Toplamda 22 dolarlık 2 tane ürün almak üzereyim, herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşır mıyım?

An Indian Muslim Deeply Inspired by Atatürk but Confused About Modern Turkey

As the title suggests, I am from India, and since childhood, I have been keen to learn about the culture and history of people around the world. That’s when I came across Atatürk, and ever since I learned about him, my perspective on my own country has changed significantly.

India, like Turkey, once had a glorious past and was among the leading nations during its prime. When we gained independence from the British, our founding fathers, such as Gandhi and Nehru, were firmly committed to secularism, even though the majority of the population was conservatively Hindu and lacked the modern outlook that much of the world had at the time. I see a similar case with Turkey in the 1920s, where Atatürk established a secular nation and modernized the country, which paid off significantly in the long run.

Both India and Turkey have their ethnic and national identity which has historically transcended religious identity. This outlook of ourselves made secularism possible, since we treat our countries as a whole but not followers of some ideology, the same is the case with China which have their own national identity that has nothing to do with Communism/Socialism.

However, today, I notice that in both countries, secularism is being canceled or demonized. In India, the conservative right-wing often labels secularism as the root cause of many of our problems. Is this the same in Turkey as well? Do you feel that the vision of your founding fathers is under threat?

Bringing 2 phones from abroad to Turkey

I am considering buying a new phone and gifting the one I use to my mom who lives in Turkey. I have bought my current phone from Turkey so it has IMEI registration in Turkey. If i were to buy a new phone from Germany would I be able to bring them both to Turkey ? I thought since one is already registered in Turkey it wouldn't be a problem.

What sanctions has Türkiye suffered?

I went to Hong Kong, and HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, and Bank of East Asia all rejected my account opening application because Turkey was involved in financial risks. Standard Chartered Bank also stopped opening accounts for Turkish identities, apparently due to sanctions. What happened?

Social work careers in Turkiye

Hi everyone - Im wondering what social work careers are like in Turkiye & whether there is opportunity for English speaking positions at all. Im talking about child protection, domestic violence, jails, schools, crisis work-type sectors.

Is this career considered "lowly" in Turkiye? Is the pay bad? What about general work conditions?

For reference, in Australia where I live, social work is a degree-qualified profession that pays AUD $70k-$95k in non-management positions. This is considered average to above average salary for the cost of living here.

Would this skillset be applied better in another sector?

Thanks!

Help needed looking for a medicine in Istanbul

I'm a tourist in Istanbul and I'm looking for this medical nutrition drink for a sick relative. There doesn't seem to be a lot of online pharmacies or pharmacies with web sites that I can check for availability and I can't call by the phone as I don't speak the language. What would be your recommendation on how to find this?

Much appreciate your help!

Engineering Employment Terms and Salaries in Turkey

My business partner and I are looking to start an engineering consultancy business in Turkey. I'm half English/Turkish but I've spent my entire career working in the UK. Since we are a consultancy, we need to determine what our charge-out costs can be relative to what the market is paying. Ideally, I'd like to know what this figure is for both permanent employees and fixed-term contractors. I know salaries have been volatile in due to hyper-inflation, but any current data or suggestion for sources to search are welcome.

I can speak fluent Turkish, so please feel free to direct me to any Turkish sources/forums where these discussions are going on.

residence permit application question

Hello! I have completed almost all my paperwork for my short term residence permit application. These have a very high rejection rate and I'm really scared. I'm American and 20F applying for tourism purposes with my friend's family hosting me. We have a signed notarized undertaking from both parents, proof of sufficient financial means from my host family, valid passport, 2 years worth of health insurance, biometric photos, money to pay the permit fee, etc. (all the listed commonly requested documents). I am applying for residency in Konya. Does anyone from this city specifically know the rejection rate in my case? I would request for 1 year touristic residency. I'm very terrified to finalize my appointment in the case that it is denied and I must leave the country in 10 days when I'm just settling into a new home. Thank you!

Why are Turks so friendly to Black Africans?

I noticed Turks are more friendly to Black Africans & have a more positive view of Black people in general. Some Turks even told me they prefer Blacks to Arabs and even some Europeans. Why is this the case?

Bedelli hakkında

Bedelli hakkında sorular

Eylül ayında Bedelli başvurusunu tamamladım Ocak’taki sınıflandırmayı bekliyorum. Sorularım:

  1. Bir an önce halledebilmek için Ocak Şubat Mart Nisan şeklinde tercih belirttim. Sizce Şubat veya en kötü Mart çıkar mı?

  2. Yoklama kaçağı durumu vardı ve ilk 1 ay içinde cezayı yatırdım ama işlendiğinden nasıl emin olabilirim ve bu celp dönemini etkiler mi?

  3. İyi bir eğitim durumum var acaba bedelliden önce bir şirkette çalışmaya başlayabilir miyim ve bedelli döneminde izin alabilir miyim yoksa bedelliyi yapana kadar beklemem mi gerekiyor? Bu konuda norm nedir?

Teşekkürler…
