How to live in Izmir, Turkey?

Question

Im from the UK and I want to go to izmir in summer 2009 to live for atleast 1 year. Im wondering what job i can do there as i don't have any savings to pay for living exspenses. I speak very good English and i speak good Turkish so could i work easily in bars, hotels etc... Also how much is it a month to rent a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment?

Answer 1

Yes, working in the hotel/catering indusry is one way of combining work and accommodation; you don't say what work experience you have already.  You could look on this website and find out more, re flats etc

good luck.

Answer 2

If you find a job in a hotel or restaurant most employers will provide accomodation. However remember the wages are likely to be very low as it is not a rich country. Better to try one of the big 5 star hotels. Eating out is cheap.
