Hi everyone,

I have a full length beard and I love it. My heart would be broken if I trimmed it. It's not messy. I groom it everyday to look smart and neat.

What are the chances of being hired in Turkey with a full length beard?

From what I've read, secular Turkish dislike anything that symbolises Islam as they believe it's backward.

Is this true?

It would come down to the salary, at least for me. Most teaching jobs in Turkey pay rather low, so I wouldn't touch it. However, things change as salary increases. For, say, 2600-2800 USD a month, I'd trim it. For 3200+ a month, I'd even shave it. What I'm really saying is I think you'd be fine as you are.

there are plenty of school of a religious bent who would I'm sure bend over backwards to accommodate a flowing long beard. Try fatih university or FSM uni off the top of my head
