Jennifer’s Story
My name is Jennifer. I work for Eagle Airlines. Eagle Airlines is the best airline in the
country. We fly direct routes between most major cities. The people who work for eagle
Airlines are friendly and helpful. We make flying a comfortable experience. Our passengers
arrive at the end of their trip relaxed and happy – and usually on time!
I work as a ticket agent. I begin work at 6:00 in the morning. That is the one bad thing
about this job. Getting up at 5:00 every morning is very difficult. After I get to the airport,
things get better. I stand behind the check-in counter. I greet passengers and check their
tickets. I sell tickets to those who don’t have them. I weigh and check luggage, assign seats,
and give out boarding passes. I get an hour off for lunch and one coffee break.
The coffee break is very important! Lunchtime is a long way off when you begin work
at 6:00 AM. At 2:30 PM works is over. The afternoon is best part of the day to enjoy outdoor.
A week I go horseback riding with friends from Eagle Airlines. I often go out dinner with
other tickets agents. Eagle Airlines is a great place to work.
