5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading for Travel Service Careers, May 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Secrets to Finding a Career in Travel (Paperback)

I really liked the format of the book -- it was extremely easy to follow. I could find the same type of information in the same location in each chapter. As I am trying to decide whether I want to make a change to another area in the industry, I appreciated that the book gave me great comparison information, including current salaries. The recommended internet links will certainly reduce my time surfing the web for the information and sites that are important to me! I already have recommended the book to my colleagues, and feel that it should be required reading for anyone in college or who wants to make a career change in the travel service industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a Guidebook to the Travel Industry, May 18, 2001

By 

D. Leiberman (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside Secrets to Finding a Career in Travel (Paperback)

This book was amazingly helpful in letting me discover areas of the travel industry that I had not known about before, and providing weblinks to companies, associations and other databases with real jobs. I loved the descriptions of the industry segments and the "major players," as well as having real job descriptions, salary information, and personal stories. Because of this book, I can really see myself in the travel industry, and I have a place to start on the path to a career in travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Help to Industry Veteran to 'Land' in Travel Industry, December 17, 2001

This review is from: Inside Secrets to Finding a Career in Travel (Paperback)

As a veteran of the travel industry, I found "Inside Secrets' invaluable when I was "excessed" from my company and had to find a new position. I was desperate to stay within the travel industry (because as anyone who works in travel knows, it is so dynamic and exciting, it is addictive) and "Inside Secrets" showed me fields of travel that I had not known about before. I was able to be "proactive" in my search, follow leads, and learn about fields in order to present my qualifications most effectively. Thank you!!!
