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.

What do you like about your job and the company?
The happiness that is received when you've managed to book someone a long-awaited holiday or a family trip is so rewarding. I get so much joy out of sending people away for their holidays, whether it be a short or long holiday. Holidays are an exciting thing, so the excitement radiates around my job. You can be booking a family trip to Disney and have children overfilled with excitement or booking someone's relaxing honeymoon but still have that same joy from each conversation. The job is constant rush of happy hormones. Even when speaking to colleagues, those in my store or in the company, I feel those emotions are similar.
Greatest achievements
Within my role I have targets I want to hit. Some months can be slower than others but setting yourself a target will give you the motivation to succeed. Last year I put more time into looking at my targets and how I could achieve them and how I can help my store and colleagues in hitting their targets. In setting this goal we achieved (as a team) the targets we needed. This is something as an individual and store we are proud of. It's an achievement in itself that I'm doing my best in what I do, but when the figures can also back that up it is an absolute positive!

Throughout my career I have had obstacles to overcome, sometimes I didn't succeed but I would use this to learn more and try again. I have learnt that the phrase 'try, try and try again' is real. I always have looked at where I want to be and developed a plan to get there, sometimes I have detoured from the route but that's ok, as long as I make it in the end. Believing I will drives me forward.

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.
