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.

Always being open and interested in new tasks, that's how you can develop further. Enjoy your work and exemplify good teamwork

Be who you want to be. I put the time in to build myself in my career and even now I am still growing. The support and help I've got around me means I have constant help to get me where I want in my career. Even if you don't want to progress up within your role, the support is there as and when needed. Happiness is key within a career, if you aren't happy in what you are doing then it's probably not a role for you. But when you are happy in your role then that will radiate off of you.
