Are you a detail oriented person? Give an example that demonstrates your attention to details.

"I pride myself on taking good care of the details! Recently a client was planning a family reunion for over 300 people and without my attention to detail, the whole package would have been a disaster. I planned an itinerary for each member and delivered the group a successfully executed weekend!"

Working in a travel agency there are certain structured tasks to follow. When a customer walks through the door they are specific in what they are looking for and it is your job to transfer that into actual travel arrangements which means precise detailed methodical details. Planning itineraries to fit with the times of the plane arrivals and departures, making sure the transport is awaiting the traveler's arrival for smooth hotel pick-ups, and the same for excursion arrangements. Time management skills are imperative with this line of work and paying meticulous attention to detail is very important to the success of each travel booking made. Give an example of a task in a previous job or pastime where you have had to pay attention to detail i.e. if you wanted to frame a piece of artwork you would need to carefully measure the canvas and calculate how much excess you would need to go around the edges and pull taut over the stretcher bars. Even if you were only a couple of millimeters out with the calculations this could mean the canvas doesn't fit so the artwork is ruined and so stock is wasted and expensive to replace.
