i seriously need help.

you just go onto the tour companies websites and they list the jobs they are hiring for.

if destination rep jobs are available they will be posted.

you could call direct to those companies and speak with someone.

The best way of finding a job is to contact the head rep who is based here. No idea how you go about finding their names though!!!

From what I have heard that's the same about Canadian reps. except about finding a job by contacting the head rep in the D.R.

She has to contact the company in Canada.

You don't have to be so agressive. It seems, from your first post, that you want the job with knowing nada about the job.

A lot of the Destination Rep jobs you can't pick where you want to you. If you get employed by one of them, they put you where you are needed. You need to know about the country you will be employed in and also a little bit about the hotels.

From what others have said, yes you get paid in Canadian Dollars, but it isn't a lot. You are also always working, not a lot of time for the beach or just hanging out. You need to be on call about 24-7 incase something comes up at one of the hotels.

They usually just posting jobs in the summer months for the busy season that starts in November. You will need to look on their websites, Monster or Workopolis. The interview process is usually a few of them and many and I mean many people apply.

I hope that this gives you some more information.

Cheers

I just had a look and I must admit I look pretty nice as usual

Let's just say it was not obvious from your first post that....

As Sammystorm said in post 15, you don't choose the country you want to work.
