But there are also nuances, such as the language issue and the influence of gender on the possibility of finding a good job.

Differences in employment between men and women

The employment conditions are predominantly the same for both genders. Women professionals can take the same vacant position as a man. There is no harassment or prohibition to work in the country, which is a big plus compared to many other Islamic states.

Influence of language proficiency

The good news for job seekers is that there are no strict language restrictions. Knowledge of Turkish is a big plus, but not a requirement.

Some jobs, of course, may require at least a minimum level of proficiency in it. In order not to waste your time, it is sufficient to simply clarify this aspect in advance in correspondence with the employer or during a telephone conversation.
