Editor of travel magazine

Blog / 11/27/2024

As a career planning consultant, I think I like traveling and I can be a travel editor.

What this process needs is a process from a hobby to ability improvement, and finally a targeted job search.

First of all, the key is that you can write articles. Some people like to travel and have a good time, but they can't write articles. I don't know how to record the feelings of traveling, how to savor the scenery of the city, and how to understand the development process and cultural knowledge of the city. As an editor, you need to know this knowledge and express it in words.

Secondly, as a profession, not only do you feel good, but also readers feel good. Think about how to present the article from the user's point of view.

At the beginning, it attracts readers' attention, with stories and plots in the middle, and at the end, it can make a good summary to attract everyone to participate in activities or sign up for travel projects.

Furthermore, you need to know how to communicate with company leaders and colleagues, understand their expected goals, and finish editing work on time every day. Take the initiative to think about the company's development strategy and create interesting and informative tourism projects.

Finally, you should know that if you turn your interest into a career, you need to accept the parts you don't like. For example, working overtime, doing projects that you don't like, and so on. You can't do it if you are happy, or don't do it if you are unhappy.

After your interest is transformed into skills, you can participate in the planning activities of some travel websites more, and strive for their recognition in order to get job opportunities. This requires you to have initiative and know how to communicate.

Tourism editors sometimes need to visit projects on the spot. The company will arrange tasks and finish them within the specified time. You should make a good plan and allocate the project time reasonably so that the edited content can be approved by the leaders and online on time.

Editors are a wide category, and there are many ways out. If you just want to be a behind-the-scenes editor, it can be roughly divided into text editors (mainly responsible for reviewing manuscripts and proofreading, and sometimes writing articles by reporters in person, etc., so the pen is required to be hard, knowledgeable, and especially eye-catching), Art editor (mainly typesetting, travel magazines are just different from literary magazines, paying more attention to pictures. As long as we master a few typesetting software, we can learn about it, and we can go to school. But it depends on your own level, since you are studying fine arts, you should be good), process editor (responsible for the control of the overall process, this position is unnecessary for newcomers) ... Others will have professional editors more or less, such as tourism, which will require an editor who knows a lot about tourism.

You can see which aspect you are suitable for in these general jobs. Of course, we should still be strict with ourselves, and it is best to be omnipotent. However, the growth period of an excellent editor is usually as long as 7 or 8 years, just like that of a doctor, so it's better for you to grasp it yourself. You can succeed with enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is the highest in this field.
