    I have a 12-year Customer Service work experience wherein my English communication, interpersonal and skills are fully developed and I have mastered multitasking. I have been into 2 major BPO companies and worked in a home-based voice and non-voice jobs. Customer Service, Technical Support, Sales, Email handling, Chat Support, Appointment Setting, Data Entry are a few of the fields I am an expert in. My first call center experience was as a Customer Service Representative handling inbound calls, resolving customers’ billing charges, at the same time doing basic troubleshooting on their cable and internet services. And then I transferred to an online Travel Agency in which I was employed for 10 years as a Travel Consultant. I’ve started as a Customer Service Agent doing inbound and outbound calls to passengers addressing their concerns on their flight itineraries. Then I was moved to Queue Management in which we contact passengers and airlines regarding the schedule changes of flights, Chat Support where I was one of the pioneers and was awarded the team’s top agent in the year 2016, Frauds where we investigate if payment information is legit and valid, Ticketing where we issue flight tickets for flights' passengers booked or any modification made to their flights and Finance in which we verify the validity of account discrepancies and resolve collections from customer payment, sales, and trade promotions. I must say that my 10 years of experience have molded my skills, helped me acquire new ones, and mastered multi-tasking. I am an expert in Sabre GDS(Global Distribution System) and Microsoft Office like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I also have worked part-time as an appointment setter (work from home set-up) for an SEO company for six months. The job focused on outbound calls for potential clients offering SEO services, and when the client took the offer, we would plot the schedule at their most convenient time. While on it, I also joggled with annotation tasks that are purely non-voice. Two years ago, I transitioned to home-based for various reasons. I started with data entry tasks and then got offers for different roles and positions. I was once a customer support agent of a tour company based in Germany where my tasks included answering chat and emails from customers, responding to customers' reviews on the website and social media accounts, tracking product issues, handling cancellations, and processing new orders, and updating stock levels. I also was a Customer service representative of a cleaning agency wherein my main role was to assist both clients and cleaners with their needs, make it easy for both parties to connect, and provide/receive cleaning services. I have 2 years of experience as an appointment setter of an insurance agency in which the main task is to contact leads and offer a free quote. The last role that I have practiced was as a lead generation specialist of a local tour company based in New York City and I reach out to leads (travel advisors) via phone and email. I am hardworking, honest, intelligent, energetic, creative, dynamic, and reliable and I know how to value my job. I can work with zero supervision and under pressure. I am a very good employee and will promptly do what is being asked. I am a team player and I am eager to learn new things. These qualities are the most effective and efficient ways to be successful which makes me qualified for this position. I am looking forward to working with you. Please advise if interviews and/or exams are needed. Thank you and hoping to be considered.

    For 3 years, I became an events associate in an events company that specializes in weddings. Then the later part of 2015, I started being a part-time VA as a means of additional income. But as I gain more clients and experience, I realized that this is something that I would love to do on a full-time basis -- being at home assisting clients with admin tasks so they can focus with the bigger aspects of their business and spend more time with their family.

How to Hire Top Travel Planners

How to hire travel planners

It takes a lot of coordination and planning to pull off a successful trip. Travel planners help reduce the administrative overhead of planning your own trips. 

So how do you hire travel planners? What follows are some tips for finding top travel planners on Upwork.

How to shortlist travel planning professionals

As you’re browsing available travel planning consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Organization skills. You want a travel planner who will be able to translate your travel ideas into a concrete travel plan, whether it’s into a Word document or Google Sheets. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., planning trips through Google Calendar).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular travel planner.

How to write an effective travel planning job post

With a clear picture of your ideal travel planner in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective travel planning job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From writing travel plans to booking trips, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain administrative tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

TRAVEL PLANNERS FAQ

What is travel planning? 

Travel planning encompasses all the tasks one must take to prepare for a trip. A travel plan will typically contain a schedule with information on flights, hotel bookings, car rentals, and other reservations. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in travel planning professionals:

  • Travel planning
  • Internet research
  • Administrative support
  • Office tools (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Docs, Google Calendar)

Why hire travel planners?

The trick to finding top travel planners is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find someone to organize potential flight schedules, lodgings, and transportation logistics into a travel plan that you can book yourself? Or will you also want your travel planner to double as a travel agent and book your trip reservations on your behalf? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a travel planner?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced travel planner may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their travel planning more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
