| Have you got specialist qualifications? Local contacts? Will be tough otherwise. Dershanes don't pay that much without high teaching loads. |

True. I've heard of teachers bragging about their pay in Istanbul. Usually it then leads to my probing for all the truth, which includes how many hours a teacher is expected to work to attain that supposedly great pay. That leads to sheepish admissions such as "35 hours a week teaching", and/ or "working 6 days a week, teaching 6 hours day" or something to that effect. If the pay is good, you can believe that your hours are going to be loonnnngggg. |

DELTA etc and a bit of experience in the region itself. Don't know anyone at all in Turkey, but I did speak to a decent place a couple of years ago who were reluctant to pay the cost of getting me there and that's where our chat ended.

Although I'd work weekends, I wouldn't really be prepared to work more than a 40 hour week (with about 21 contact hours) and would be looking for 2 consecutive weekend days. |

| Without getting into the usual qualifications debate, I'm not sure the Delta would be considered specialist by anything in the food chain higher than dershanes. A valuable qual, which will be of great use in typical language schools there. But not really valued by many private schools or universities. Unless things have changed drastically recently. But my contacts there have not said... |

I wouldn't be looking at a uni: a nice number in a quality language centre would suit me perfectly.
And - Without getting into the usual qualifications debate - if they're not considering the DELTA as a specialist EFL qualification, who could possibly want to work there anyway? |

| Shame they won't have a guaranteed practical component even if they claim to be at the same level as a DELTA qualified teacher, I guess.... |

| That's not how these institutions' hiring committees think of it... |

| No way. I don't know anyone who gets paid that much - almost 8000TL a month. Not DOSs, not teachers with QTS at the best private schools. |
