Recently came across a company called Overland Club – which looked quite good at first. They even had a “Dear Wannabe Crew” welcome on their jobs page.
Excellent I thought!
As with all the companies I am applying to I had a good old google of them, then checked out the Thorn Tree and a few other blogs and forums.
Then I found this http://www.overlandwarning.com/ A whole site dedicated to warning people to not travel with Overland Club, or work with them.
Now I have never had any contact with said Overland Club – Especially as they have not returned my email that was asking them a few questions about their routes and job applications etc – So I cannot add my own opinion, nor verify the opinions of others.
However, consider this a warning. You can choose to believe the opinions or not. However, this does throw up something else – ALWAYS GOOGLE YOUR TRAVEL COMPANIES.
You will be surprised at just how many people have added information to the worldwide webnet thingy.
Full Update on my other happenings later on this evening, must get back to work.
Happy Travellin‘
