What do you like about your job and the company?

No day is alike, and in the Nordic office, we are "spiders in the web", seen as the destination experts, consulting our sales, trading, operations and media teams on all details of the hotels and destinations we work with. We ensure to have the best portfolio for our customers, to ensure they have a fantastic holiday, and we do need to visit the destinations every now and then to get new ideas and inspirations to build the future programs.

Greatest achievements

Thailand, one of TUI Nordics most important destinations, had among the toughest COVID restrictions in the world for tourists. Still in winter 21/22 we managed to keep operation our charter program in there. Through a lot of work, extremely detailed and careful information and instructions to the customers, and daily meetings with governments, tourist boards and our local teams to keep fully up to date on changes. In the end, we still managed to keep our operations going there, against the odds.

Top Insider Advice

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!

Letting your passion shine through, and letting your personality come out in your work is, for me, really important. When you enjoy your work, it is great to let that show as it helps others see that passion, and shows you are motivated and engaged by what you do. I also think it is really important to be open and honest at work at well. Let your manager and colleagues know how you are feeling, and don't be afraid to ask questions - especially in Trading, asking questions is so important in helping you learn and understand the role.

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.
