Experience in hospitality, sales, and customer service is all useful to a travel consultant. Apply for a job working at the reservation desk of a hotel. Get a job as a tour guide or a booking agent at a local tour company. Even working at a call center will give you the customer service experience that employers are looking for. When you work for a host agency, you can get up and running quickly as an independent agent while also benefitting from the host's resources, like access to suppliers, accounting services, and training opportunities. Then you split any commission you make with your host agency. You'll still have to do all your own marketing to drive traffic to your independent website, but you can avoid all the hard work of setting up a brand new business. Visit an impartial site, like HostAgencyReviews.com to compare host agencies and learn more about different ones. The travel industry is large, and it is fractured into niche markets, like student, luxury, or adventure travel. If you have a lot of personal experience with one type of travel, look for companies that cater directly to that market. Your expertise may allow you to start at a higher salary than an entry-level position. Other niche travel markets include community service, seniors, singles, families, women only, pets, disabled, and honeymoons. Having a user-friendly website is essential for a travel agent trying to attract new clients. If you're low on funds, you can use a service like Squarespace, which provides design templates for you to build on. But if you can afford it, hire a professional to design the site for you. They'll know all the tricks for attracting and retaining visitors. Write articles for your site, get a newsletter started, pay for ads online, and spread news of your new business across social media. It may be worthwhile to take an online course in internet marketing if you're unfamiliar with it. With a high-speed internet connection, a cell phone, and a well-designed website, there's not much keeping you from starting your own business at home. You'll need to file the appropriate business paperwork with your city or state, get insurance, and devote most of your time early on to marketing and attracting clients. The International Air Transport Association requires that you be accredited in order to book flights as a travel agent. If you work for an agency, you can use their accreditation to get your own ID card. If you start your own business, you'll need to submit a considerable amount of paperwork with your application. Some of the necessary paperwork includes your business license, proof of liability insurance, tax documents, and a letter of recommendation from a former employer. Each country has their own national certification boards for travel agencies, so visit the IATA website for your country's requirements.

summary: Work in a related field. Join a host agency. Specialize your services. Design a website. Start your own travel company. Get certified through IATA.

If you don't want to cut the brim off your hat, you can just wear it backwards. Or, purchase an unwanted one from the thrift store. The hat should be as light in color as possible, or people will be able to see it through the bed sheet that will be draped over your head. If it drags on the floor too much, then mark the place where it should be cut. The costume should drag just a little to create a floating effect, but not so much that the person wearing it trips. Have the person under the sheet poke out his or her fingers to where his or her eyes are, and draw little dots on the sheet at these points. Pin it to the baseball hat. Place the mark you made for the center of the person's head right in the center of the baseball hat. Pin the sheet around the hat; you'll need to use about three or four more pins. If you don't want the black dot on the top of the head to be so noticeable, you can flip the sheet over. You should still be able to see where the mark on the top of the head is, but it will be less visible to onlookers. You can also just cover the mark with white-out. Or, use a fabric marker pencil that fades (invisible fabric markers). Cut eye holes where the eye positions have been marked. Circle them with black magic marker. The eye holes should be at least twice as big as the wearer's eyes. Use the marker to draw a nose and a mouth. You can cut a hole for either the nose or mouth, to make it easier to breathe. If you marked a place where the sheet should be cut, cut along that line.

summary: Cut the brim off a light-colored baseball hat. Drape the sheet over the head of the person wearing the ghost costume. Mark the center of the person's head on the sheet with a black marker. Mark the eye holes. Remove the sheet. Cut out the eye holes. Draw a mouth and nose. If the sheet was too long, cut it.
