Title: Jobs in calis
Post by: 0kirsty0 on October 27, 2005, 20:13:18 PM

Hi everyone!

Ive been to calis quite a few times now and love it!! Ive always had an ambition to work abroad and i worked in france a couple of years ago but now would really like to live and work in calis or fethiye. The only thing is i have not got a clue where to start. Apart from look for jobs on the net but they all seem to lead to dead ends. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or know of anyone who is looking to employ. I have exprience in retail and customer service. look forward to hearing from u all x  :)

Try the tour companies, Thomson, Thomas Cook, Anatolian Sky, etc, safest way to work is as a rep.

Do Hotels or Restaurants employ British people?

You MUST have a work permit to work in Turkey.
Suggest you do a search (top right hand corner - 2" down) on here for work permit.
The subject has been covered many times. They are NOT easy to get & if you work without one you could be on the next plane home plus not be allowed back into the country.

I don't think any British person would be happy to work the hours that Hotels/Restaurants expect neither would they be happy with the remuneration. I don't think they are allowed to work in a position that a Turkish person could be employed in.

Do some searches on here - it really isn't easy to work.

I agree with Rowanis safest bet is probably a holiday or transfer rep as you tend to be covered by a company permit.  If you look on the holiday companies web sites some of them are already looking for reps for next year. If you are caught working without a work permit you could be deported.

All Brits have been banned from getting work permits for working in bars and as or in estate agents. There are loads of links which give more info on here about this.
