You need to get a work permit first. There are numerous threads about how to do this - just use the "search" facility.
If you do manage to get a permit, be prepared for very long hours with not much pay.

My advice is don´t even think about it at the moment. I live on the Bodrum peninsula and over the last couple of weeks the Jandarma have had a big clampdown on illegal workers - deporting them with a five year ban on returning to Turkey. Two all-inclusive hotels in our town were ´raided´ and the illegal workers (from several different countries) were taken by the Jandarma and held and questioned for 12 hours before being deported.
Work permits for foreigners who are not considered essentially employed are practically impossible to get. Working for a foreign company based in Turkey might be possible.

So...this means no more bail money??? Could you just leave me a couple of cellphones and laptops then???  I may have to resort to bribes.

I think the worst is over and I will try to keep a very low profile ( possibly hiding behind the bar?)so hopefully I will be ok for a couple more months.
(BTW - if I don´t need the laptop and phones for bribes can I keep them?  )

Then you would be really shocked to see her slamming back the bourbon! She´s a big hit with the dudus, especially when she does her "flaming shot".

EXCUSE ME!! This is all getting just a little bit too personal
I may have to report you to myself for deformation of character (I just decided that this should be against forum rules  ) I think our dudu hunting partnership could well be over - however I will be keeping the laptop and cellphones
P.S. I have to go to work now - I am on the late shift.

I´m back now - another raid I´m afraid - I had to leave in a hurry via the toilet window. Dudu hunting is becoming quite a dangerous sport 
I did find time to pass on your greetings Trudy and they all said ´Merhaba Aşkım´ (they seem to know you quite well )
