Which expert can provide some advice on career planning? I have mainly worked as a tour guide and telemarketer, what is the next step for me?

Workplace experts believe that the career planning of tour guides can be divided into three steps:

The first step is to become a qualified tour guide. Among the current tour guide team, except for some who have received formal training , registered full-time tour guides, most of them are employees and students from other industries. Therefore, if you want to engage in this industry, you can take the tour guide certificate as soon as possible, and seize the recruitment peaks of the tourism season several times a year to fully exercise your abilities, accumulate good language expression skills, knowledge connotation and industry experience, and strive for Enter a regular travel agency to work as a full-time tour guide.

If you are already a qualified tour guide, you should work hard on your internal skills, fully grasp every opportunity to lead a team, and be excellent. In addition, you can also participate in some tour guide competitions to improve your abilities and industry reputation.

The second step is to become a skilled tour guide. There is a shortage of excellent tour guides, and an even greater shortage of skilled tour guides. Talents who are currently working as tour guides can learn a skill and improve their professional competitiveness. For example, overseas travel is becoming more and more popular, but talents for developing various overseas travel routes are very scarce. If you are working as a tour guide, you may wish to learn more about travel route development and strengthen practice, so as to lay the foundation for your career improvement.

For another example, nowadays there are very few tour guides who know Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Korean and other minor languages. Learning another foreign language can add a lot of luster to your career.

The third step is to become an all-round senior tourism talent. At present, travel agencies’ requirements for tour guides have been upgraded from the simple full-time and local tour guides in the past to the ability to design travel routes and have both full-time and local tour guides. This creates a higher entry barrier for tour guides and makes the profession of tour guides more irreplaceable.
