Tour Guide Application Process

Thank you for expressing interest in employment at the Appelt Aggieland Visitor Center. This is a very challenging and rewarding position that will enhance your communication and teamwork skills. As the most visible starting point for visiting Texas A&M University, we are often the first impression that most people have about the university. Therefore, we are looking for individuals who not only have a passion for Texas A&M, but also a sincere work ethic.

The Visitor Center currently provides two types of tours: a campus walking tour and a campus driving campus. The tours are developed for various audiences including prospective students and their families, former students, new Texas A&M faculty and staff, newcomers to the community, tourists, and conference attendees. We encourage you to go on one of our walking tours, which are given Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm. You may also go on the campus driving tour, which is offered on Fridays at 11:30am, but advance reservations are required.

To apply for a position, please submit an audition video, complete the employment application, and attach a resume or list of your campus activities and relevant experience. Completed applications may be dropped off at the Visitor Center at any time. Applicants selected for an interview will be contacted via email. All new staff members will be expected to attend mandatory training sessions.

Your interest in serving Texas A&M University through the Appelt Aggieland Visitor Center is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please call the Visitor Center at 845-5851 or stop by the desk in the first floor lobby of Rudder Tower. Best wishes to you in this process!

Application/Interview Tips

• Go on the walking and driving tour of campus. Please call a few days before you want to go on a tour to verify the tour time.
• This is a competitive process! The open spots are extremely limited, and many students interview for this position a couple of times before they are selected to be on staff. We may interview as many as 50 students, so be prepared for an in-depth interview.
• Use your audition video as an opportunity to present yourself well! Follow the guidelines carefully.
• If you are selected for an interview, sign up the first day that you receive notification, so you have a better selection of interview times.
• Arrive at least five minutes early for your interview. Relax and be genuine and thorough as we ask you questions during the interview.
