Apply For Specific Travel Jobs

To avoid being left in the rejection pile, make sure you apply for specific positions, and let your resume and cover letter show that you have the experience or aptitude for the job.

Try calling ahead of time - most tour companies have joblines or personnel offices you can call - to see which jobs are available, and check the JobMonkey job search database for a list of companies and the positions they are most likely to offer.

Although we list some step-on tour companies in our listings, there are too many to give a complete listing here. In fact, step-on tours exist in virtually every large city and tourist area in the world. The best way to find step-on guide companies is to check with the local convention and visitor's bureaus, who will gladly provide you with a list of companies specializing in local tours. Other good sources of step-on tour information are chambers of commerce, travel agencies, and state tourism agencies, all of which keep track of step-on tour companies operating in their area.

It's best to try a step-on tour company in an area with which you're already familiar, so you can stress your knowledge of the area. Some companies will take anyone with an outgoing personality and good speaking skills, so be sure to stress any experience you may have working with the public.
