A job in the sun
Reporter: Jane, you're a travel rep on the beautiful island of Majorca. It sounds a dream job - living and working by the Mediterranean all year round, with two and a half months off in the winter. What exactly do you do, Jane?
Jane: Oh, I meet clients when they arrive see them off when they leave and ... look after them during their stay, take them on excursions ...
Reporter: Do you like it?
Jane: Oh yes, I do, but it is hard work.
Reporter: You mean the hours? How many hours do you work?
Jane: Seven hours a day, six days a week ...
Reporter: That's forty-two hours a week ...
Jane: Yes, but on top of that we have four extra jobs a week as well – you know, like accompanying an excursion, meeting a delayed aircraft at four in the morning, that sort of thing.
Reporter: That's certainly tough.
Jane: It is tough. Not much time for sunbathing. I always sleep on my day off.
Reporter: Do you speak Spanish?
Jane: Yes, I do. You've got to know the language in this kind of job - after all, you have to arrange things with the local people - hotels, transport, entertainment... Not everybody speaks English.
Reporter: Do you spend your holidays at home?
Jane: Part of them. About six weeks each winter.
Reporter: And then you go back to Majorca for a holiday?
Jane: That's right. I love Majorca in the winter. The island’s not so busy then. Sometimes I fly out to the Canaries for a week or two - if it gets too cold in Majorca.
Reporter: What kind of person do you have to be if you want to become a rep?
Jane: Well ... you must be prepared to work hard, you must love people and - oh yes - you should be single!
