Good afternoon everyone! I've been fortunate enough to be offered an International Commercial role with TUI starting in September. I've worked for TUI in the past in an overseas role, however, I appreciate that life in head office will be quite different from my previous experiences. Are there any particular software skills (certain software packages) or any linguistic skills that you believe may be beneficial for my career with TUI? I can't wait to start. It really is a dream come true. TUI has such a unique culture. Thank you in advance for any tips. All the best, Daniel

My main question for TUI in Germany. I have seen some interesting position the area of my expertise : Operational excellence, Training, Quality, CX. However, the advertisement is in German language. My level of German is intermediate. Could I still applying? I can definitely understand most of context but in a professional setting, I feel more comfortable in English.

Amazing news Daniel many congratulations. You will have a great on boarding experience and please do not worry about the systems you will learn these once your in the role. We are an English speaking company I do not speak any languages and amazed by all my colleagues that talk English all day. There could be times a role will need a 2nd language but we will always mention this in the job advert

Congratulations Daniel, Like Gemma has said you will get all the training and support needed in your new role. If you not sure or you need to know more just be open with your manager, they would rather you ask questions than struggle and not know.

Hi Gemma and Toni. Thank you so much. Really appreciated. I'm planning on working on my German language skills over the next few months. I just thought it would be worth asking whether there was anything else that might be beneficial. Thank you once again, and I look forward to (hopefully) crossing paths with you both in future. Have a great week.
