Studying in North Cyprus doesn’t mean you’re cut off from the global job market. Many students land high-quality internships with companies abroad—without ever leaving their dorms. Here’s how to do it.
Step-by-Step Strategy
1. Pick the Right Industry
- High Opportunity Fields:
- Digital marketing
- Software development
- Academic research
- Bonus: Many of these jobs align with university hours and require just a laptop and Wi-Fi.
2. Build a Strong Online Presence
- LinkedIn: Use the “Open to Work” badge
- GitHub: Showcase side projects or coursework (for tech fields)
- Behance: Portfolio for design/creative students
3. Application Tips
- Mention time zone as a plus:
“Being 2 hours ahead of CET allows me to deliver work early.” - Use remote-friendly phrases like:
“Available for overlap with PST/EST hours”
