It should go the same as any job interviews you have had in your life. You know just show up early, shake their hand. Always look at them in the eye. Ask questions. Look like you are very interested in the job. And so one. Job Interview is a job interview. It does not matter what the job is tour operator, rep, babysitter, housekeeper...etc. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Default Just a guess...

You'll probably get some questions about how you would handle a crisis or how you've handled a crisis situation in the past. It's a typical interview question, and probably applicable in the circumstances. What would you do if a tourist got injured? How would you deal with complaints on a trip?

Other pointers - dress nicely (over-dressing can't really hurt, right? It's better to impress), smile lots, don't smoke beforehand or chew gum during the interview, and make sure you're very tidy (a friend of mine couldn't understand why he didn't get a serving job in a restaurant where I worked, and I later found out that he hadn't shaved. The boss wasn't very impressed with that. You'd think it would be obvious, but he said it didn't even occur to him that anyone would care.)

Best of luck!

And doing that at the end of the interview is important, too. When I interviewed people I was always impressed when they told me how educational they had found the interview.........I was interviewing in a University, so education was the name of the game.

Firm handshake (not arm wrestling), constant eye contact, and one suggestion I like .....remember everyone's name and use it in the interview when talking.
Break a leg!

Talking hope

First knowing your vision on what you can accomplish as far as long-term before the interview for the company your powers and weakness,and why you should be put in that space before the next guy or girl,because there going to ask,and you better be ready, its just called homework or covering your butt.
