contoh wawancara dengan Tour Leader


Hallo everyone,
kali ini aku akan men-share satu lagi contoh wawancara dengan seorang Tour Leader.
let's read. 
LISETTE ( Tour Leader InsightCuba)
InsightCuba caught up with Lisette Poole, an insightCuba tour leader that currently resides in New York City. She talks about her best days as a tour guide through Cuba,  what she likes most about the Caribbean island and how she relates to Cuba. She also shares her work as a freelance photographer. Lisette recently worked on three major photography projects documenting her Cuban family (Family), the looks and vigor of the Cuban people (Vanity) and the devastation of hurricane Sandy (Sandy) sweeping through Cuba. 
InsightCuba: Who is Lisette?
Lisette Poole: Well, I’m born and raised in San Francisco, California. My mother is Cuban, and though she left at 12 years old, she never let a day go by without mentioning her homeland. I have always been very proud and curious about being Cuban and Cuba. 
In college, I studied photojournalism, so later, I used my background in photography to discover Cuba and my roots there. I began traveling there over 14 years ago now, and for the last few years have spent long stretches of time in Havana mainly, working on photography projects. At this point, it feels like a second home to me.
 What propelled you to become a tour leader in Cuba? 
I love Cuba, and going there has completely changed my life. I really have learned a lot from being and working there, and the people I’ve met. It can also be a hard place to feel comfortable and get things done, in many ways it’s different than what we’re used to, but once you’re able to figure things out, it’s really worth it. 
I think knowing people there before you go, even one person, can make all the difference in whether or not you are able to have a good experience. My favorite part of the job is that I get to share my love of the island with the visitors that go there, making it easier for them to see all the beauty the island has to offer. 
Why insightCuba?  
InsightCuba really focuses on the experience of their clients and makes sure they have the best time possible. Insight is very focused on this, and it really shows. Passengers invariably love the time they spent in Cuba and want to go back. 
Favorite insightCuba tours that you lead? 
My favorite so far is Classic Cuba, although, I’ve worked many Weekend in Havana tours and really like those as well.  Classic Cuba is a tour where you get to see a little bit of everything that is Cuba, small towns, coastline, as well as Havana. The Weekend In Havana tour is great because you will probably have more experiences in four days than you ever will in such a small amount of time. 
You’ve received countless positive comments from the insightCuba clients. What has been your greatest reward?
I have gotten to meet so many amazing and wonderful people on these tours. I think anyone that goes to a country with this kind of travel, is looking for a unique experience. They really want to be part of the culture, and for the most part, they have already seen the world. It’s very enjoyable to get to talk to them about their lives. 
I also can’t tell you how good it feels when I ask the clients whether they want to come back and their hands all go shooting up. It feels so good to know that I had a part in bringing their dream of experiencing Cuba and a cultural immersion into reality. 
What do you like most about Cuba?
What I like most about Cuba is, of course, the people. I just learn so much from them. It’s very difficult for me to describe. I find in them a zest for life, as well as an openness. They won’t hide the fact that they feel upset, if that’s the case, but there’s also a way that they don’t let anything get them down. “No cojas lucha,” is an expression there that means, “Don’t fight it” It’s a way that they explain away hardships, if someone in the US would tell me to “calm down” when I was upset, it might make me things worse. But when someone in Cuba tells me that I just need to stop fighting whatever it is that’s bothering me, it really works.  
There’s also music, and dance, and just having a good time. Cuban people are so talented, innovative, creative; they can make a party out of anything. It’s really incredible. I’ve had some amazing fun experiences in Cuba that I can’t compare to anywhere else.
Best and worst day as a tour leader in Cuba?
My favorite experience was at the children's theater "La Colmenita." The children danced and performed for us and they were so talented! They brought us all up with them to dance and be part of the show! It was so hot that day that everyone was hot and sweating but we all danced anyway and had a great time! The best part was how brave and talented the kids were. One boy, he couldn't have been more than 11 years old took me by the hand and said "do you dance casino?" (Cuban-style salsa) and he proceeded to show me all his best moves! These kids were dancing like professionals and all because they loved it and were willing to dedicate the time to it! It was very inspiring and everyone in our group, passengers, the guide, and myself, left in great spirits that day!
Worst day was when one client lost her passport. We eventually got it back, but we’d spent the whole weekend planning what to do. She was worried she’d have to stay in Cuba while her new passport was ordered. I felt so helpless and knew that she was having a hard time.  
 How was your event on raising funds on Santiago de Cuba? 
The event was based on photos I took in Santiago de Cuba after Hurricane Sandy. We sold the prints and gave the money to Pastors for Peace who will be bringing supplies down to Cuba for continuing reconstruction efforts there. It was another way of bridging the gap between the two countries and that always feels amazing.  
While shooting the Vanity project in 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Cuba, on its way to the U.S. - it was the second-largest storm in the island’s history. I was in Havana, far from Santiago, where the hurricane had passed, but I began to hear stories of the devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. I traveled by bus (16 hours) to see for myself what had happened to Santiago, Cuba’s second-largest city. When I arrived, there was no water, and no electricity.  Thousands of homes were left without a roof and hundreds of homes were destroyed completely. But what I also found were communities coming together to help one another, to clean up, to provide shelter. Santiago’s residents welcomed me into their homes. 
Having just moved to New York this year, and hearing so much about Hurricane Sandy’s impact on the East Coast of the United States, I knew that I wanted to do something to raise awareness about what had happened in Cuba as well. I returned to Santiago this year to photograph for the one-year anniversary and found the city still struggling to put the pieces together. At the benefit in Brooklyn, on October 24th, exactly the one-year anniversary of Sandy in Cuba, we printed the Santiago photos and sold prints to raise money for Pastors for Peace, and organization that brings building supplies to Santiago.  The event was a success! We had a great turnout and in keeping with the tradition of Cuba, we had music, food and a good time too! 
 
Advice to prospective travelers to Cuba?
Have an open mind. Be prepared to have the trip be completely different from what you expected. If something bothers you, “No cojas lucha,” and keep your eyes open for lessons learned and beautiful gifts you’ll find along the way. Dance! Take a lesson from Cubans and shed any ounce of shyness you have! Ask questions. Do some research before you go. This will help a lot. While you’re in Cuba, don’t sleep. You can do that back home. Rest if you really need it but make sure you spend as much time as you can, experiencing what’s happening.

Contoh Interview ~interview with tour leader~

hallo readers i come back...
kali ini aku akan share salah satu contoh interview ( with tour leader ),  jujur aja pas aku lagi nyusun tugas akhir aku, aku kesusahan banget nyari contoh interview yang pas, dan alhamdulillah aku dapat juga, makanya itu aku ingin share ini agar kalian juga bisa read and buat contoh interview like this..
enjoy read ...



How To Travel The World – An Interview with a Tour Leader
There are different ways to travel for an extended period of time. You can save up money for a while and then quit your job like I did, travel and work various jobs along the way or find a more permanent job that involves traveling. For Taylor Hess, a backpack is his office, local hostels are his bed for the night and the commute to work might be a boat down the Amazon or a tuk-tuk to Angkor Wat. Not only does he make his own travel desires a reality, but he make’s other people’s holiday a dream come true. So, what exactly does Taylor do? He has what many would describe as a “dream job.”  He is a tour leader for G Adventures. I got a chance to interview Taylor while he was visiting family in Texas before heading to South East Asia to lead tours.
How long have you been a Tour Leader for?
I started in November of 2008, so I’m just finishing my second year.
When did you decide you wanted to be a Tour Leader?
Whenever I was finishing my senior year at Texas State University. , I was working at a Public Relations firm. It was a great professional job, but I was restless and couldn’t get passionate about what I did. I decided to leave that to pursue a life of adventure and novelty!

How difficult was it for you to get the job?
I got incredibly lucky. We get hundreds of applications every year, but I applied right whenever my company was getting ready to hire for the busy season. If you are interested in applying to be a tour leader, keep in mind the tourist seasons. I was applying to work in Central America, which busy season is in December through March. This means they will start hiring people in the fall to start training for the peak season. With so many applications, timing is very important.
What past life experiences helped you get the job?
Obviously, you cannot be a tour leader if you do not have plenty of travel experience. I had traveled several times in Central America and lived in Costa Rica while studying Spanish. For job skills, I ran a small business while in University. This helped me learn how to work by myself, to improvise in difficult situations, and to be able to take responsibility and ownership of problems.
What’s the best part of being a Tour Leader besides getting to travel?
I absolutely LOVE the people I work with. I have been lucky to be surrounded by a passionate group of amazing people. I have found friends and romances that I would have never imagined and I am constantly meeting people who impact my life. I have also found plenty of free time to develop other interests. I get to play around with photography and video editing, I learned to make jewelry, and I always have a good book on me!
What’s the worst part of the job?
It can be an emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes it can be a struggle living your life according to the agenda of others. A small schedule change could mean that we don’t get to see friends or a girlfriend for weeks or months sometimes. If you are having a difficult trip or are upset about anything, it can be a long time before you see a friend who you can vent to!
Is it hard to build and maintain relationships in this field of work?
Friends and significant others are a double-edged sword. On one hand, I have to say a lot of goodbyes. One the other, I am always running into amazing people who I share incredible experiences with.
How is it having a significant other and maintaining a relationship?
I would say this lifestyle is much easier if you are single. We move around so much that it is nearly impossible to maintain a committed relationship. However, we do get to meet many different people and romances can happen anywhere. Some people date other tour leaders, some form relationships with locals. Getting involved with your passengers is a bad idea.
Does leading the same tour over and over again lose its excitement?
No two groups are ever the same, so I can run an identical trip and have a completely different experience. I make it a point that on every trip I do a new activity, learn something new, or go visit a place I’ve never been before.
Sometimes it can get a bit monotonous doing the same things over and over again, but the world is full of surprises. As soon as I feel like I lose enthusiasm with hiking the cloud forest for the 47th time, I’ll see something incredible, like a resplendent quetzal for the first time land on a branch right near me, and it all seems brand new again!
What is your life like when you’re not leading tours? Are you still traveling?
It all depends. Sometimes in between trips I will just have a few days to rest up before hitting the road again, and sometimes I’ll have a week or so and have enough time for friends from home to come down and visit. Sometimes I’ll know another Tour Leader friend of mine is running a trip nearby so I’ll go to the town next door and hang out with them. There is no routine.
Another great perk is getting to know different tour operators along the road and develop relationships with them. You can often find amazing discounts or freebies on overnight sailing trips, or other incredible adventures from the business contacts we make on the road.
What kind of person does it take to be a good tour leader?
I would say that about 75% of it is personality. You have to be able to spend weeks at a time entertaining complete strangers from all parts of the world and all walks of life. You cannot get frustrated easily and you must always be able to show a positive attitude. You have to really be able to embrace the bizarre and adapt to any situation. If you are the type of person who needs a stable life and routine, you won’t be happy with the lifestyle.
What advice would give to someone thinking about becoming a Tour Leader?
If you want to become a Tour Leader, I would tell you to make sure that you understand that it is not just a job, but a complete lifestyle. Many people think that becoming a Tour Leader is like a free ticket to see the world. While it will definitely give you an opportunity to go to amazing places, some people don’t realize that it is a job and requires a lot of hard work, commitment and sacrifice.
Many people may consider being a tour leader the “dream job.” Would you agree with them?
YES! I hear so many people tell me they would love to do what I do, but they can’t because of (insert reason here). Most things that people view as limiting factors that will prevent them from living this lifestyle, are simply challenges every one of us has to deal with before we started. We all have friends, families, jobs, schools, cars, etc that we had to factor into our decision.
Do you see yourself doing this for the rest of your life?
Yikes… It is a very extreme lifestyle and Tour Leaders definitely have a lifespan before they get burned out, lonely, or just physically exhausted. My goal is to keep doing this as long as I keep enjoying it. It is very important for Tour Leaders to realize whenever they have reached the point that the frustrations outnumber the benefits.
Is being a tour leader more play and less work or more work and less play?
It is interesting. Whenever I am running a trip, I am a group’s leader for 24 hours a day for weeks at a time. Imagine a continuum: On one end you are working really really hard, and on the other end you are completely goofing off and just playing. We spend our life meandering back and forth along this continuum, but I try to keep a good balance and hover somewhere around the middle.
How is the pay in this field of work?
Most tour leaders get paid per trip-day, and it can range from $25 – $40/day. While this may not seem like a lot of money, consider that while running a trip your cost of living is zero, so the potential for saving money is great. I’ve been able to save up enough money to visit my family in the states periodically, pay my student loans, and save up for personal travel.
What are the perks and the downfalls?
This is a long and very open-ended question! The perks are endless! You get to see the world, and the rest of the world comes to you. You get to meet life-changing people, eat the most amazing food in the world, and do incredible things on a daily basis. I can’t think of anything cooler to do! It is very exhausting, both physically and mentally. Sometimes a bit of loneliness can set in, and yet sometimes you can find yourself surrounded by people and unable to find time for yourself.
Would you ever consider being a tour leader?
