BECOME A TOUR GUIDE! UP TO $1000 PER WEEK!
*IMPORTANT*: YOU MUST SUBMIT A SHORT PARAGRAPH EXPRESSING WHY YOU WOULD BE A GREAT TOUR GUIDE TO BE CONSIDERED! WITHOUT THAT YOU MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Actors, Comedians, Singers and Stage Performers would be “ naturals“ for this job but everyone who meets the requirements below is welcome to apply.
5-Star rated local tour company seeks responsible, happy, outgoing individuals to become tour guides that love to make people smile. No experience needed. All training will be provided. Ghost tours are evening tours between the hours of 5-10 pm. We also are seeking tour guides for our non-haunted day time tours. Tours take place in the French Quarter and nearby.
Here are the requirements:
1) You must have no felonies on your record in the past 5 years. And no sex related criminal offenses ever!
2) You must have a loud voice and be able to project your voice, so that large groups of people can hear your without a microphone.
3) You must be a responsible and punctual person. Tour guiding is not like working on most jobs where if you are running late, then someone else is there to cover for you, until you arrive. With tour guiding, you are the only one set to meet these people at that time. If you don’t show up or if you are late, there will be a whole corner full of paying guest left there standing there bewildered and alone. So if you habitually run late, this is NOT the position for you.
4) You must have stamina. Tours last approximately 2 hours. On some days you may be scheduled for back to back tours. So you have to be able to have the energy and stamina to be on your feet walking and entertaining for hours at a time in the frigid cold, the sweltering heat and in the pouring rain. Tours go on rain on shine. So you must be comfortable giving a tour in a downpour. Of course you would bring a raincoat and an umbrella.
5) You have to be able to be chatty with the guests and give the appearance of being outgoing whether you truly are or not. Entertain them.
6) You have to be able to memorize a script. You will have the chance to follow along on tours to see how it’s done and also will have a script to memorize so you will know what to say. So you must have to have a good memory. If you are good at memorizing songs and lines from movies, that’s a good start.
7) You have be willing to dedicate yourself to this. Most jobs you start the day you are hired. Tour guiding is not like that. Although there are opportunities to make some money with us while training, tour guiding is unique because it is regulated by the city, by the same department that is charge of the taxicab drivers. To give a tour in New Orleans you MUST be licensed by the city. To get a license you have to undergo a federal background check, you must read a 300 page book about the history of New Orleans, you must go to City Hall and take a history test about the history Of New Orleans. Those things must be done for the city to issue you a license. Then you must take some time to learn our company’s specific ghost tour stories and how to deliver them. So in all honesty it is a bit of a process, but it so, so worth it when you start pulling in up to $1000 a week for a job that you truly love. It’s really a wonderful profession where you get meet interesting people from all around the world. Once you get into it, you will see that it is GREAT pay for what your are doing.
Ok, I hope this sounds like something you are interested in. If so, in the paragraph you will write please tell me why you believe you would be a great tour guide. Also, mention the word “Travellers” somewhere In the paragraph so I will know you read the job requirements all the way through. Thanks and I hope to be working with you soon!
