Let’s be honest: you were born to work in customer service.

Here at s1jobs we’ve lots of roles right up your street – places where your people skills will be truly appreciated.

But we know sometimes the best way to help other people is to help yourself first . . . and that can mean getting away from crowds and having a holiday.

You’ll come back relaxed, refreshed and recharged, ready to start doing what you do best: helping customers.

To help you reach peak performance, we’ve compiled a guide to holiday destinations where you’ll get maximum solitude and tranquility.

And where you can practise your customer skills.

 

Skiary, Loch Hourn, Highlands

No road leads to Skiary guesthouse, instead visitors are ferried by boat. The accommodation is off-grid, with no mobile signal or WiFi to disturb the peace.

But who needs the outside world when there are hundreds of square miles of wilderness to explore?

Here you’ll get a true perspective of how important customer service is to people living in truly remote locations.

 

Altai Mountains, Mongolia

This is the location of the annual Eagle Hunter festival, where Kazakh horsemen gather to display their skills with birds of prey. But it’s hardly a crowd-puller; only about 100 foreign visitors attend.

After the festival you can explore the mountains and deserts of one of the most uncrowded countries in the world – and practise communication skills with native Mongolians.

 

Lundy, Bristol Channel

A granite outcrop, three miles long and half a mile wide, this is a place apart, peaceful and unspoiled.

Lundy is never crowded, even in the height of summer when five times a week MS Oldenburg brings day-visitors who stay for just a few hours.

At all other times only a handful of guests are on the island so your ability to work well on your own and be creative will be truly tested.

 

Seychelles, Indian Ocean

Treat yourself to a villa overlooking the ocean and you’ll see more turtles than people. Even if you stir from your own beach, you’re unlikely to be troubled by crowds in this nation of just 100,000 inhabitants across 115 remote islands.

Watching hospitality and tourism staff deal with the demands of tourists living in such pampered luxury will be a valuable lesson in nurturing people skills and patience.
