Dear readers,
I am wondering if any of you Turkey-experts can lend me a hand: I am seriously considering the possibility of working at the university level in Istanbul and would just like to know if I am qualified and if I have a chance amid all the competition. I am a twenty-nine-year-old American/Irish citizen with an M.Ed in postsecondary TESOL and a BA in English Literature. I know that the university positions can be quite competitive in Turkey, so, I just wanted to know if you think that I have a shot for this coming autumn. I have taught EFL in France, South Korea and I have also taught ESL in the United States, and was just wondering. Your help would be most appreciated. |

It is possible to work in universities with a BA and TEFL certificate. The higher paid universities( Koc and Sabanci) do require MAs though. |

You shouldn't have any problem finding a job at a university with your experience and education. I, along with many other teachers I know here in Istanbul, have similar qualifications and work at universities. But if you want a job for the fall, I suggest that you act soon. I know that some universities (for example, Ko�) have already offered contracts for the fall. Ko� and Sabanci are the highest paying, and they offer apartments. Isik University also pays okay, but is moving far outside Istanbul next year. Bilgi University is also okay. Good luck! |
