A friend of mine who works in one of the schools up here has just got a work permit. Shes not married to a Turk - just living with one but the bosses of her school applied for a work permit of for her but chose to class her as a Teaching Assistant not a full blown Teacher that way they were able to get her a work permit. The got it in 2 weeks.
So it seems there is a work permit loophole here even if you dont have a degree or any other qualifications such as my friend who has no qualifications whatsoever.
Things that make you go mmmmmmm! ;)

I feel a starman reply coming here.........

He's waiting in the sky
-
he'd like to come and meet us,
but he thinks he'd blow our minds

All he was going to say was that we should let all the children boogie. Maybe I'm harder to shock than some, but that advice wouldn't even get close to blowing my mind. Stop using fossil fuels with immediate effect as I've seen your planet's future, there's an imminent invasion from a parallel universe, those sorts of things maybe, but telling us we should be letting kids dance would hardly be worth coming all that way for.

Was going to reply but I will get accused of stalking linda again

You just did :D
-
ok.
I may well know the school in question and I do know it did NOT take 2 weeks for the work permit to be processed but more like 2-3 months. Also it is not a loophole and I know that if the SSK went and done another raid there and found them teaching and not assisting then they would all get arrested again. You can only do the job of your job discription and nothing else.

I knew he would reply the man is a legend - he's wrong of course - (not my words) but you just wait..... 8):D

here is a short overview of the work permit process. As you can see, 2 weeks is not possible.
The Immigration Process for foreigner is coming to Turkey
Fist of all, we should clarifiy the way of application and the assignee's nationality. If an assignee would like to apply for a work permit from Turkey, s/he must be a holder of residence permit for min. 6 months and just Group A countries can apply for 6 months residence permit. However an assignee applying from abroad does not need a residence permit and all the country citizen can apply from abroad.The main important difference is that you can apply from Turkey only if you are able to apply for a 6-month's residence permit from Turkey, and that can only happen if you come from a group A country
A group country citizens can obtain a touristic residence permit residence permit for up to 5 years, but for the rest it can only be obtained up to 3 months in 12 month period. Therefore the assignee who is not Group A country citizen, must apply from abroad.
GROUP A Countries: EU member countries, OECD member countries, USA, Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Holland, United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Canada, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, New Zealand, Greece, Ireland, Czech Republic, Hungary, South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Malta and Southern Cyprus.

Step 1: Submission of Work Visa Application - Turkish Embassy(ETA: 1-2 hours]
Applicants are generally required to submit their work/residence visa applications to the Turkish Embassy in person. It is generally not necessary to schedule an appointment prior to visiting the Turkish Embassy. The Embassy will usually return your original passport on the same day your application has been submitted. If you are accompanied by family members, then it may be necessary for them to submit residence visa applications together with your work visa application
Step 2: Work Permit Application - Ministry of Labor and Social Security in Ankara [ETA: 3 months]
Because your work permit application (Step 2) must be submitted to the Ministry of Labor in Ankara within three days after you have submitted your work visa application to the Turkish Embassy, it is critical that your work permit application package is finalized before you submit your work visa application.
Step 3: Collection of your Work Visa - Turkish Embassy [ETA: 2-4 working days]
After your work permit application has been approved, the Ministry of Labor will send a fax transmission to the Turkish Embassy, authorizing the issuance of your visa. In order to be able to collect your visa stamp, you will need to visit the Turkish Embassy in person and re-submit your original passport(s). The Turkish Embassy will generally issue the work visa within 2-4 working days.
Step 4: Residence Permit Application - Immigration Department, Istanbul [ETA: 2-5 working days]

Original passport
Original work permit
Letter
