Russia: Land of Opportunities for Bilkenters?

On Monday, March 6, Ali İhsan Akıskalıoğlu, Batubay Özkan, İkbal Dürre, Cem Tezelman and Mehmet Kaynarcan from the Russian - Turkish Businessmen's League shared their knowledge about job opportunities in Russia with students who filled Room FBB-22 in the FADA Building. The program, "Rusya'daki İş İmkanları," was part of the CDPC's "Career Days" program.

All the speakers mentioned the importance of learning the Russian language in order to establish successful business relations in Russia. They also pointed out that Russia's natural resources and huge territory provide opportunities for Turkish investors. Mr. Özkan emphasized the significance of specializing in a certain field. Mr. Kaynarcan told the students that with a strong background, there's no reason not to be successful in Russia. Mr. Akıskalıoğlu, who wrapped up the first hour of the program, advised students not to wait to be discovered by employers but rather to use their initiative and entrepreneurial skills.

The second hour was devoted to a question and answer session. There was a high rate of participation by the students, who seemed eager to learn about job opportunities in Russia and the potential to play a prominent role in business there in the future.
