Job Description:

The Travel Agency Internship is for independent-minded people looking for real, international work experience to add to your resume, and you can become bi-lingual if you apply yourself. Instead of just visiting, as a tourist, you will be living and working in London-- there is really no better way to truly learn the English language.

Qualified candidates should be 18 or older and possess a desire to learn about and live in London. Some Spanish or French is helpful although we can and do place beginners (internship choices are limited). Candidates should be at college level or graduate level.

Qualities required are: dependability for your work assignment, courage for your international living abroad experience and openness to all the new people and experiences you will encounter.

Interns can be expected to work on the following items:

• Placing sales calls over the phone
• Logging all contacts with clients
• Administrative duties
• Photocopying
• Filing
• Telephoning
• Internet research
• Translation
• Word-processing

Company Profile:

This travel agency creates opportunities for students and young adults to make the most of their time and experience the world face-to-face in any way they choose.

They are committed to making a positive impact upon the lives of people, communities and the environment around the world. They support Planeterra's Peru Streetkids Project in Cuzco, Peru, a project that offers impoverished children warm meals, help with homework, and life-skills coaching, including sewing, cooking, music and English. They also offer travel scholarships to university students to help subsidize travel costs in order to help students travel who wouldn't otherwise be able to. In addition, they offer a World Traveler Internship, an opportunity for two young students to travel the world during their summer breaks for free.

They believe that when we fully experience the world and the wonders it has to offer, we connect with who we are and discover who we can be. As a growing company in a niche travel market, their market placement in the travel industry is exceptional.
