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 ;)

Always try to do what you enjoy the most, and have fun while doing it. Be true to your principles and values, and always stay true to yourselves. Don't be afraid to try, and above all, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Always be genuine, and try to evaluate situations from various perspectives. Our reality and preferences may not always be the best for the company and the team, and we shouldn't let that discourage us or make us give up.

If you are in the early part of your career, my advice for you would be to keep your options much wider. You will be in a better place to identify your potential as you progress in your career, much similar to a practical experience as compared to the textbook knowledge. If you are already an experienced professional then my advice would be somewhat different. You should go after the job that doesn't feel like a job but something you love doing (... and then you never have to work again, as the quote goes). One of the important factors of loving what you do is to continuously learn new things because learning expands your limit of thinking and then the ability to organically take up new challenges. My other advice to anyone on the success path is to believe in self-potential. It is possible to achieve anything but only as long as we believe in our efforts and keep trying. If we don't fail then we didn't try, so it is perfectly fine to fail so long as we learn from failures.

I would like to think the key thing to remember is that we are individuals, and as individuals, we share a common passion for travel. My best advice to any potential candidate is BE YOURSELF! I have always brought my personality to work and always made friends all over the world in each destination I've worked in, to date. One other piece of advice I'd give, is use your nerves to your advantage; the reason we get nervous is because we are doing something far outside of our comfort zones. Starting a career with us means you'll eventually overcome those nerves the minute you step foot on the plane when you're travelling to your new destination. Keep an open mind, learn new languages, cultures, experience different things and you'll see just how big the world really is!
