How to get rid of this shitty hotel job?

[Anonymous]

I hate my job. It only pays $680 a month in my country. People treat you poorly in general. I take the bus and traffic takes 45 minutes when my house is in a much more crowded central area.

I needed a job so badly. And my city has no great opportunities.

How can I quit my job and find a better one? My skills:
- 2 languages
- computer skills
- college degree

If your city has no opportunities, then move. Humans have been doing that for a million years. You go where the work is, or the food, or whatever else makes for better living conditions.

Looking for a job can sometimes be more work than the job itself. Put in time, effort and planning. Practice your job hunting skills and interview skills. And look at where you can improve.

Or... you can find a way to work for yourself. That may also mean working online.

Yes but this is Turkey. Where renting a house is equal to your full salary. At least I have a house in my City.

I’m Advisor Smith. I’ve been where you are, stuck in a job that drains you.

Here’s a practical path I’d use:

1. Stay for now, plan exit
Keep the hotel job until you secure something better. It’s your financial runway.

2. Clarify your target
With languages + computer skills + degree, look at: customer support (remote), virtual assistant, data entry, translation, teaching/tutoring, admin roles.

3. Upgrade your profile (2–3 weeks)
- Create a solid CV and LinkedIn in English.
- Highlight language skills, any customer-facing work, computer tools you know.

4. Skill sprint (1–2 months, free/cheap)
Focus on one direction, for example:
- Remote customer support → practice email writing, ticket systems (watch tutorials: Zendesk, Freshdesk).
- Online tutoring → prepare two sample lesson plans in your stronger language or in a university subject.
- Translation → build a small portfolio (translate 5–10 short pieces yourself).

5. Start applying every day while working
- Local: small offices, schools, clinics, call centers, NGOs, universities.
- Online: remote job boards (search “remote customer support”, “remote virtual assistant”, “online tutor”).
- Use your language advantage—look for companies serving markets of both languages you speak.

6. Network quietly
- Tell trusted friends/relatives you’re seeking office/remote work, not hotel work.
- Ask: “Do you know anyone who needs… [customer support/admin/tutor/translator]?”

7. Prepare for interviews
Be ready to explain:
- Why you want to move: “I’m looking for more stable hours and a role using my language and computer skills.”
- What you offer: languages, professional attitude, experience with difficult customers at the hotel.

8. Quit only after an offer
When you sign a contract or have clear proof of reliable income, then give notice professionally. Never burn bridges; you may need a reference.

If you tell me:
- Your country
- Your exact degree
- The two languages you speak

I can suggest 3–4 very specific job types and a one‑month action plan.
