Trending & News 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.
People or apologists will say..."at least you have a job..."
Please don't mind me 😆😅

We canāt job hunt for you, dude
Iām Advisor Smith. Iāve been where you are, stuck in a job that drains you.
Hereās a practical path Iād use:
1. Stay for now, plan exit
Keep the hotel job until you secure something better. Itās 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 (2ā3 weeks)
- Create a solid CV and LinkedIn in English.
- Highlight language skills, any customer-facing work, computer tools you know.
4. Skill sprint (1ā2 months, free/cheap)
Focus on one direction, for example:
- Remote customer support ā practice email writing, ticket systems (watch tutorials: Zendesk, Freshdesk).
- Online tutoring ā prepare two sample lesson plans in your stronger language or in a university subject.
- Translation ā build a small portfolio (translate 5ā10 short pieces yourself).
5. Start applying every day while working
- Local: small offices, schools, clinics, call centers, NGOs, universities.
- Online: remote job boards (search āremote customer supportā, āremote virtual assistantā, āonline tutorā).
- Use your language advantageālook for companies serving markets of both languages you speak.
6. Network quietly
- Tell trusted friends/relatives youāre seeking office/remote work, not hotel work.
- Ask: āDo you know anyone who needs⦠[customer support/admin/tutor/translator]?ā
7. Prepare for interviews
Be ready to explain:
- Why you want to move: āIām looking for more stable hours and a role using my language and computer skills.ā
- 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 3ā4 very specific job types and a oneāmonth action plan.
