When you’re looking for a new job, your best bet is to do some research first.
In fact, that’s the advice I got from my favorite job hunting agent.
Here are seven reasons why.
1.
Travel agents are good at getting a job that’s perfect for them.
Traveling is a great way to network and build connections with others.
Travel agent interviews are generally shorter than those at a traditional job interview, so if you have the chance to sit down and talk about a job with a recruiter, you’ll be surprised by how well they can relate to you.
But don’t be discouraged if you don’t find a job you’re passionate about right away.
I’ve been in the travel industry for nearly two decades, and I’ve seen countless job openings go to people who had been interviewing for years.
While you may be the ideal candidate, it’s best to go with someone who has a similar experience to you, and whose resume is similar enough to match your personality.
2.
They’re not all about your resume.
If you’re a travel agent who specializes in local travel, your resume should reflect that.
You may not be a full-time employee of the agency, but you’ll have a pretty solid resume if you apply for any kind of position that involves a lot of travel.
The more people who apply to you from the same company, the more likely you are to get a job.
3.
They can give you the job.
Travel companies have a reputation for having an amazing hiring process, so it’s not surprising that many travel agents are eager to hire anyone who has experience working with travelers.
This is especially true if you’re applying for a remote position, or if you’ve been working in the industry for years and want to start your own career in the business.
But in order to get the most out of your time at a travel agency, you should do some digging and talk to them about your skills.
They’ll want to know if you want to work from home or have a full day job, and they’ll want you to be able to travel in the same day as your interviewers.
If the answer is yes, you might have an opportunity to work with someone at the agency who’s looking to fill a position you want, and the opportunity to apply for that job right away could make your first interview a lot more productive.
4.
They know where you’re coming from.
You’ve got to be careful when it comes to traveling, but if you go to a travel company and you tell them you want a job in their industry, they’re going to want to find you a way to get you that job.
The first thing they’ll do is get you to a local coffee shop or restaurant to meet your interviewees.
In the meantime, they’ll be interviewing you, giving you feedback on your resume and getting you an idea of how you’re going on your career path.
If your resume looks familiar, it probably means you’re not the right candidate for that position, and you should try to avoid making assumptions about where your experience is based on the way you’ve chosen to describe yourself online.
5.
They understand the importance of networking.
If it’s a remote job that you’re interested in, you’re likely to be interviewed by a lot people from the local community, and your travel experience will be the best source of information.
If that’s true, travel agents will often talk to locals who have a great relationship with the company, and who can offer tips and advice on how to get that job without too much trouble.
When you get to the local coffeehouse, you may also find a local bar or restaurant that has great coffee and food, and there’s often a lot to talk about there.
Your interview will be very informal and they may ask you a lot about your past work experience, or ask you to give them a tour of your office.
It’s up to you to figure out what you want and when you want it, but knowing the local travel industry will help you stay in touch with local employers and help you find that perfect job.
6.
You’re not going to be a top-notch recruiter.
You don’t need to be an expert in travel to get hired by a travel travel agency.
The key is to have experience working in travel agencies.
That experience should include doing a lot at work and having an idea about the needs of the market.
A travel agent may not have a deep understanding of what the local market is like, but they’ll know what they’re looking to find, and will be willing to help you understand what is working in that market and what is not.
If a travel agencies hiring director does know what the market is about, they can make you a great recruiter by showing you the tools and techniques that will help them hire the best people.
7.
They have an extensive knowledge of the industry.
There are hundreds of travel agencies across the country, and if you are a candidate, you will get a
