'So You Want To Be A Holiday Rep?' has been written specifically for new comers to this industry, so there is no complicated jargon and no stone is left unturned. The book gives a full description of the basic qualifications needed, what the job entails, how to apply for application forms and complete them, how to prepare for interviews, how to succeed at interviews and a full section on 'Tour Operator Information' which details facts and figures relating to specific UK holiday companies. There are complete welcome meeting and coach transfer transcriptions, examples of day-to-day problems and most importantly, recollections of the job from the people that actually do it themselves, the reps! Also included are addresses and contact details of all the Colleges and Universities currently offering Travel & Tourism courses.
This is the second in the series of travel career guides released by Tourismwork. It is widely used in colleges throughout the UK who offer Travel & Tourism courses as supplementary reading material. The same can also be said about 'So You Want to be Air Cabin Crew?'.
