Iran
In order to gain more experience in Travel and Tour Agency, I worked in Azadi Travel Agency for the duration of 10 months as a volunteer. This opportunity assisted me a lot later in my career path.
I started with administration in the company and helped my colleagues with what they needed me to do. After a while, they let me to take the reservation of domestic tickets. In this stage, I decided to take the ticketing courses to be able to take the international reservations as well. I got the certificate and worked in that department, but it was not the one that satisfied me in my career. I requested to place me in tour department. There, I helped them in international corresponding, translating brochures and negotiating for better prices of hotels.
Although they compensate my efforts at the end by a bonus, It was difficult to work without earning. Later I found it really precious experience which helped me in making my future career decision and position in this industry.
