BECOME A TOUR GUIDE~ EARN UP TO $1200/WEEK!!! 5-Star rated local tour company seeks responsible, outgoing individuals looking for a great career to become tour guides. You could work full or part time. Your choice.No experience needed. All training is 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. Here are the requirements: 1) You must have no felonies on your record in the past 5 years beyond that time period may be acceptable depending on the offense. And no sex related criminal offenses ever! We do background checks! 2) You must have a loud voice and be able to project your voice, so that large groups of up to 28 people can hear you clearly without a microphone. You can not be shy in front of people. If you are you have to train yourself to appear not to be. 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 to 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 have to have a good memory. If you are good and memorizing songs and lines from movies, that’s a good start. 7) You have to dedicate yourself to this. Most jobs you start the day you are hired. Tour guiding is not like that. Although there opportunities to make some money 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, read a 300 page book about the history of New Orleans, go to City Hall and take a history test about the history Of New Orleans. Those things must be done for the city to give 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 worth it when you start pulling in $1000+ a week for a job that you love. It’s really a wonderful profession where you get meet interesting people from all around the world and it’s very fulfilling knowing you were the highlight of people’s New Orleans vacation. 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.
