Tips For Prospective Air Couriers
* Make yourself indispensable to courier companies by giving first class service, honouring your obligations, looking smart, and being available for virtually all destinations and willing to fly at any time at little or no notice. Many of the more successful and prolific couriers say they owe their achievements to writing letters of thanks to the courier firm when the trip ends. Okay, so you did them a favour by accompanying their package, but don’t forget that both parties provided a service for one another, and both gained something. ‘Thanks’ is a word that might be entirely appropriate, and might bring you quickly to mind when someone is next needed on an urgent assignment to some distant, exotic location.
* Apply to numerous companies,
particularly near your own local airports, where you’ll receive priority
over couriers from further afield. Contact companies regularly enquiring
about vacancies, without making a nuisance of yourself. Constant
telephone calls will win you no favours with busy courier companies but
a regular polite enquiry letter might keep your application at the top
of the pile!
* Try not to show the low cost -or
free -air ticket is your only interest. Even if it is! Make sure the
company sees you as a responsible, caring individual, not a freeloader
caring little about anyone or anything but themselves!
* Try not to cancel a flight
unless you have no other option. Reliability is what brings you speedily
to mind when the company next needs a courier.
