We’ve got TEFL jobs in Turkey and you can find them here.
To secure a TEFL job in Turkey you'll need a TEFL qualification and a degree, but you'll find jobs suitable for newly-qualified teachers and non-native English speakers (with the suitable qualifications) alike. It's important to do your research into any employer that offers you a job - speak to current and former employees, look into them online, and only ever sign a contract you're happy with. You'll find reports online of EFL teachers who've had bad experiences in Turkey so make sure not to go into anything blind.
The job-hunting method of turning up and handing out your CV can sometimes lead to gaining work once you’re in the country, particularly in the more populous areas such as Istanbul. However, many newer teachers want the security of a guaranteed job before arrival, and as such would probably prefer to go through an agency to find employment. There are chain language schools which hire throughout the year, as well as smaller private language schools where opportunities will be limited, but worth looking out for. Doing corporate gigs for large companies can be another route to finding employment, such as the Marriott Hotel in Ankara. While securing a job in advance is usually advisable, many expats in Turkey say that they found better options when searching on the ground, before getting tied into terrible contracts with schools of ill repute. Wherever you apply, do your research, and try to get a reference from a previous teacher at the school.
