Those who have sl*gged of Olympic were probably sick of the amount of work you have to do. As i said before, you only get 1 day off a week and that is usually split into two half days.

My experiences of Olympic holidays is that there a great comany to work for, and so much does depend on who your gonna be repping with as the jobs can get you down and you need good mates to pick you back up.

In saying that though its the most rewarding and best job ive done and i looked upon my time in rhodes as not work, but as having fun. There's a great saying ...... 'find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life' - That definately applies to us holiday reps.

A normal working week for an Olympic rep is different depending on where you go. Resorts like Faliraki, KAvos and Malia will mean you work much longer hours than a smaller quieter resort. So say you worked Faliraki (which i did briefly last year) this is a normal week.....

23:00 - 07:00 = Airport

If you work in a smaller resort, you dont need to guide as many excursions.

As for high season reps....they usually come into the busy resorts...like the falirakis and do the bar crawls etc etc. I was high season last year and i went to faliraki, though i ended up moving as another rep resigned and i had to cover her. The high season reps are the first to go home unless you've made a big impression and ask them to stay...im sure you'll be fine!!

Can you remember any of your faliraki reps last year??

hope this helps
Steve

Well high season reps are usually just for the high season...june-september, whereas season reps are there all season april-october. However that certainly doesnt mean you will definately sent home. Quite a few reps cant hack it and pack the job in before the end. I was high season but i stayed to the final days.

i recognize your escapade reps names but i cant rmember who they were....as for the old rep, there's usually a mixture of ages. I was 21 last year for my first season and i was one of the youngest - the oldest being abput 38.

Steve

to be honest with you, i have no idea what your training is gonna be like. I went out by myself and my training lasted four days of one on one training and shadowing. Once i finished that they threw me into the deep end with 3 hotels to look after!

I'd imagine your training will last a week and there will be a group of you sent to somewhere like athens, faliraki or malia....where you will do all the training you need.

During training you should be given a tour of the island you get, go on all the excusrions so that you know how to sell them, practice your welcome meeting and airport spiel,
and learn about all the paperwork and how to deal with complaints.

Although my training was basic, im expecting it to be alot more thorough this time round.

Where's the rest of the olympic wanabee's? its not just me and you is it?? DREAM TEAM! LOL
