**Work type**: Full time

**Location**: Wellington, Porirua

**Categories**: Leisure Travel & Retail

**Open up the world to those who want to see. whakatuwhera te ao ki te hunga e hiahia ana ki te kite**

You don't have to know everything about travel to get started, you need to be good at researching, organizing, listening to, and understanding people. To be successful at Flight Centre you'll need to put a lot of time and energy into it, and you have to enjoy continued learning.

There is never a dull moment at Flight Centre NZ Friends come to us to plan their first ever overseas experience, couples come to design their dream honeymoons, families come to book trips of a lifetime. People tell us, “I have dreamed of this forever”

As we work in a sales environment, our store-based positions are made up of both a base salary (retainer) and unlimited incentives

Because you'll be concentrating on learning our systems and building your customer base, you may not be transferring many sales to start with, but don't worry - that's why we offer an attractive assured income. We guarantee that you won't earn less than $60k annually - this is made up of a $45k base salary, and $15k guaranteed incentives. You will then earn incentives monthly, based on the transactional value of your sales - this is a % amount that goes up in tiers. So, the more you sell, the more you take home

Great Travel Experts think outside the box, are self-driven and able to adapt to any emergency or change. This industry is always changing, every day a new rule, a new crisis, new resorts, or destinations. It’s challenging, high pressure but rewarding —and we wouldn't change a thing
