First day, arrival in LTBA.
You go to the hotel (normally Radison Blu, by the airport, on short final 18),
which is paid by THY.
Next morning a small mini-van will pick you up, and after 10 minutes, you will arrive at a nice building, where HR is. You will stay 3 to 5 hours, waiting in the "harry and wait" room, till a nice lady asks you for your documents. Not all of them, but only License, Medical.
After waiting another 2 hours, and IF you are lucky, you will be picked up from this building, and will driven to thw SIM center, which is 15 to 20 minutes drive from there.
If not, you will go back to the hotel, and will be picked up, the next day, for the SIM center. Time depends upon rostering.
Sim is tricky, and they are looking for SOP'S primarily and CALL-OUTS.
For 737, study LTBA , and for 320-340, look carefully LTAC.
For Co-pilots, AFTER simulator, you will undergo a series of pshycotechnical tests, lasting approx. 5 hours. The next day, you will undergo a test in english , and finally, you will have the opportunity (if passed), to undergo an interview.
Commanders, after the simulator, they undergo an interview, straight-forward, with general questions, not technical ones.
If passed (both Cpts, Cpilots), they must spend one terrible day in the central police station, signing a bunch of papers, for their working permit.
You go home, and return after some days, to pass a medical test, through a
private hospital.
I don't know, if I answer to your question, but the primary you must have, is PATIENCE.
They work very-very-very-very-very slowly.
They are extremely polite, and willing to help.
Good luck!
