How easy would it be to get a job in Turkey, with a little bit of knowledge of Turkish?

I plan to move there to start my life over again, but I only have enough money between hotels and food for a one way flight. Since I am comming over with no job and enough money to get by, I think it will be hard (most likley impossible) to convince the government to give me a residence permit

TEFL has some nice opportunities

Are you seriously expecting to get a reply contrary to what you just said yourself?

 he is a believeradventurous believer ...well first American millioners had really tough startand then blistering pace to wealth.....you´d better buy return ticket yeoman!

 I take it you have been in touch with the Turkish consulate/embassy to check visa requirements and how long you have to have lived in Turkey before you can apply for residency etc?  And that you can legally work in Turkey?  Sounds like a non-starter to me.

Why don´t you refer back to this thread?  Quite a lot of information contained within.

It seems a bit naive to move to a foreign country and not have any back up.....at least have enough money to get back home.  It is difficult for Turks to find employment in Turkey.....even more difficult for foreigners.  We have a classmate who has been in Turkey for several months now with no luck in finding a job.  I am not saying it is impossible, but it is very difficult. 

 That´s funny!  He already posted on this thread himself!

 Yes, that is why I posted it  A little bit of research would not go a miss for our Yeoman I think!

 when you run out of money after living on a shoe string between hotels and restaurants you will definitely
