Hi there!I live in Istambul and I`m searching for a job since couple of months through internet,but with any success.I`m Master of Hotel and Restaurant Management,I know English,German,Spanish and native Bulgarian,but no Turkish.Can someone tell me,for working in tourism,(hotel,agency,airport),is it possible to find a job,without Turkish language and where should I search for it?Is there any company that deals with searching jobs for foreigners here,or I have to go straight to some hotel and ask for applying for any position.I have residence permit,so I guess this is one problem less...I`d be grateful if you could help me somehow.

To find a job in Turkey you have to speak Turkish fluently, since most of clients can not communicate in English, unless you find a job in an international company.
