Do you think you could learn the language and interact well enough to get a job?

In all honestly even China for a English speaker would actually be easy.. because there would be lots of businesses wanting a English speaker's help.. but what if you were sent to a country that didn't like Americans like say.. Iran, do you think you could get a job in Iran in 6 months or a year with out knowing the language? Also lets assume 100,000 other refugees were sent along with you.. Do you think you could beat out those other 100,000 refugees to get a job?

do you think it would be hard for you to start in Iran with zero and also face daily issues with people who didn't want you there because you were 1 of 100,000 Americans who were refuges living on welfare?
