How To Choose A Tanzania Safari Tour Guide

By Claudine Hodges


It has been made overly clear just what traits to look for in a good expert. You need one that is not only reliable but also accountable and useful. However, you also need to know which qualities to avoid when looking for such a professional to work for you. There are certain qualities that the ideal Tanzania safari tour guide should possess. The following traits should be top on the to avoid list:

The first most evident trait is tardiness. You can easily catch up on this on the interview date. If a candidate does not care enough to show up on time during the interview, you can be certain they will not care enough to keep time once they have the job. Your project will be done late, no progressions will be made and if made, they will not be followed through. This is a character trait that you should avoid at all costs.

Then, consider their emotional balance. This may seem like a trivial matter but it plays a big role in determining how well they can handle different situations. Their ability to adopt to change in tone while asking questions in the interview will easily show you how well they can adapt to different situations and how they will handle themselves under pressure. This also shows you the kind of atmosphere they will provide for their fellow workers.

This being said, it follows that the right expert should be able to blend their personalities with the task at hand and the people they need to work with. Being aware of what they can handle, an expert should find ways of ensuring that their personalities come out in the best light throughout the project. They should not infringe on any personality of a person and should work to strengthen their peers and not break them down. This creates an easy to work in environment.

No matter how urgent your project may be, you surely have to make time to check the criminal record of the person you want to hire. If any has one, try and avoid them. If not, at least ensure that the charge is not major or happened in their teens and they have proof that they are different people now. If this is not the case, then completely avoid such candidates.

Beyond their professional expertise, you need a professional that can easily co- relate with fellow workers. It is rarely heard of but insist on their giving you one contact of a former fellow worker who can be a character witness so to speak. This will show you how well they are able to work with others.

The one habit that you should not tolerate at any level is drug and alcohol abuse. It is very easy to pick up on such a habit as their mannerisms during the interview will show. This is why it is important to check their medical records since such a case will be clearly shown. Having a drug and alcohol abuser on board will put your project in jeopardy as you never know if they will show up for work or if they will spend money meant for supplies on their habit of choice. It is simply safer you avoid such.

With all the above in check, you will be safe to hire your professional of choice. Of course, it is hardly possible to find one that has all the above but even if it is just one trait in the above list, be careful to avoid them. This will only work to help you find the right candidate.
