The most important thing I have learnt working at TUI is the importance of being genuine and bringing your personality to work - it makes you feel a lot better and as everyone is treated as an individual and allows teammates to understand what works best for you. TUI as a company is incredibly supportive of this as well, and it helps to make you feel like you belong in the team and makes it more than just work.

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 have always been an introvert, but working at TUI has helped me push myself. By volunteering to help on different projects and saying 'yes' to opportunities has meant that I have had the chance to work with so many different people and expose myself to different projects. This has enabled me to develop a larger skillset and helped increase my confidence. I'm always willing to try new things and think of different solutions which is key at TUI since we really value innovation. If you want to develop yourself and in turn, your career, then don't be afraid to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and say yes.
