totally random. I came to turkey for a month long backpacking trip last may, and just fell into a bartending job for the summer in a little resort town on the mediterranean coast. After the summer I moved in with a friend of mine who i'd met a few months earlier who was already in Istanbul and she took me to her boss and I got a job teaching english right away. It was super easy getting set up with a job and apartment, slightly more difficult getting used to living in a MASSIVE city, but I really love it here now. Now I just need to work on my Turkish, haha.
