Hi Chrys, Can you give me career advice based on my personal background? I am originally from Mongolia and recently relocated to England after living in Shanghai for while. When i was living in Shanghai, i started small scale tour business from scratch selling my home country Mongolia to expats living in China and later on (during pandemic) i worked with Chinese tour operators selling their products to the expats who were travelling domestically. As i moved to England now i am open to any position and even can consider to take study program about travel and tourism if necessary. For TUI entry level candidate, what would you recommend? and what soft skills TUI is looking from candidates? Do you think i can be considered TUI training programs? I don't have any study background in UK (no GCSE math or English etc), i studied in Moscow so i speak some Russian as well. I am very open-minded and adaptable as i was educated and lived abroad. Thank you. Kind Regards, Tuya Johnson
