Take on challenges head-on. Everyone has failed at some point and everyone will fail again. Just take time to reflect on the failures. It's the only way we can really grow as humans and evolve into the best possible version of ourselves. Having an environment that allows you to fail and learn gracefully is vital to being able to deliver the best possible work we can. This is something I really enjoy in my day-to-day work: I've never felt afraid to ask all my questions, no matter how stupid I felt they were and I was always met with respect and dignity.

What do you like about your job and the company?

For me enjoyable work starts with a great team. From my experience TUI has a really great social infrastructure with lots of colleagues who can make any work interesting. I'm currently involved in a larger project and get to know colleagues from many different countries around the world. I think this level of diversity helps a lot with finding solutions for the challenges we face in trying to replace legacy systems with unified cross-market applications. tl;dr: Our goal is it to provide great state-of-the-art solutions to unify TUI's IT landscape while having fun on the way ;)

I'm the sort of person that says "go for it" and "what's the worst that can happen?" I struggled for years not being able to get my foot in the (creative) door. I wound up managing a kitchen for a large pub chain - which is an absolutely fine career, but it simply wasn't for me. I started to apply to every role and opportunity that could offer me some experience to add to my CV - this included assisting photographers hang their work for upcoming exhibitions and photographing charity events for PR assets - all in my spare time. All of this rather random experience allowed me to start understanding which avenues I'd like to explore for my career. That career ended up beginning at TUI and i've never looked back.
