Flight Centre Jobs

What’s a typical day like for a Travel Sales Consultant?

If you love travel and are looking for a career that offers long-term opportunities, then becoming a Travel Sales Consultant could be the perfect role for you.

The role of a Travel Sales Consultant is fast-paced and varied. Just like travelling, no two days are the same. One day may be spent meeting with customers and building rapport, while the next day could be spent creating travel itineraries and helping a customer to organise the perfect special occasion. By joining our team as a Travel Sales Consultant you’ll receive full industry qualifications to set you up for a lifelong career.

Phone Interview

This a short conversation with one of our recruitment specialists to find out about your experience and why you want to work with us. It's also a chance for you to learn more about working with Flight Centre Travel Group, the detailed information about the position on offer, salary and benefits we offer.

Tip: Don't be nervous! We're genuinely happy to speak with you and want you to do your best. That's why we've put together this list to help you handle your telephone interview with confidence.

Online Test

If you're successful at your phone interview and get invited to the face to face/virtual interview (see the next step), you'll have some homework to do beforehand, which includes an online psychometric test that we'll send you via email.

Tip: There are no right and wrong questions. This test is designed to assess your thinking styles and behavioural preferences in the workplace, allowing us to pair you with the best opportunities within the business.

Face to Face/Virtual Interview

This is our chance to learn all about what makes you perfect for the role. The interview will involve some questions about your work and travel experiences. This stage is also the time for you to find out more about Flight Centre Travel Group. We’ll guide you through the role’s details and our development pathway so that you can make an informed decision about your next career destination!

While a face-to-face chat is always preferable, we understand that lockdowns and restrictions can sometimes get in the way of this. Our Recruiters can conduct interviews virtually, over the phone or in person if you’re close by. We will work together with you to find the best environment for everyone.

Reference Check

At this stage, we’ll contact someone you've reported to, usually previous employers, to learn more about your employment history and qualifications for this specific role.

Tip: Just be yourself throughout the entire process and make sure that all information provided to the company is correct and true.

Receive an Outcome

We’ll call you to let you know of the outcome of the entire process within 3 to 5 business days of the group interview. If you receive a job offer, you will be allocated to a team and a start date for a 2-week paid training course so you can start making travel dreams come true! If you don’t make it through, we’ll be happy to give you advice and feedback about what you need to focus on in order to be successful next time you try.

Frequently Asked Questions

In choosing Flight Centre, our customers have a high expectation that our travel sales consultants have themselves travelled, as it's through this personal experience that great recommendations can be made. However, it's not the be-all and end-all.

We have had successful consultants in the past with strong sales skills, good academic results and a passion for travel, who have not travelled extensively before joining the company. So, don't rule yourself out of a chance just because you haven't toured the world yet!

One of the best things about working for us is that we love to recruit from within and help our people reach their professional goals. Many of our Travel Sales Consultants go on to become Team Leaders or Area Leaders and others end up in our head office running divisions. Even members of our Global Leadership Team started out as Travel Consultants back in the day!

We've got more than 30 brands in 90 countries, so your first step into a Travel Sales Consultant role could be the one of many in a career that traverses the world.
