You might think that nowadays with so many people owning personal computers and being able to Google whatever they want that there’s no longer any need for travel agents.
If I can book the ticket myself online, why would I want to have someone else do it for me?
Be that as it may, there still are some people who’d rather have the pros do it – this is the date I want to fly, here’s where I want to go, and this is when I want to return – find me the cheapest deal, please.

Re: Travel Agent Job Position
Dear Kathy Russell,
On my way home from work yesterday, I saw in the window of your travel agency a help wanted sign.
I have been working for a travel agency for the past eight years and have garnered a lot of experience in helping people book the flights they want on the airline they prefer at the price they can handle.
In addition to English, I speak a fluent Spanish and an okay French, so I can communicate with native citizens, tourists, and immigrants.
My current responsibilities include:
- Answering phones,
- Booking flights,
- Accepting credit card information,
- And emailing customers their flight information and e-tickets.
I research hotel accommodations and rental car options and suggest places of interest to customers, bearing in mind their preferences (hiking, seeing art galleries and other cultural venues, historical locations, attractions that appeal to children) and budget limits.
During working hours, I am also available for emergency calls from customers who are stuck in a foreign country with no wallet or a missed / cancelled flight, and do my utmost to extricate them from the problems they face.
I’d like to meet you to discuss the position further.
My contact information is above.
Sincerely,
Rachel Watson
