Back Again

A couple of years ago we (TTPL) hosted a German student in our office, now Tanja is back with us. This is her story....


The first time I worked for TTPL, I only worked as an intern for 7 weeks and thought that it would be an ordinary internship as any other, in which I would have to do small tasks with barely any responsibilities. However they took me straight from the beginning by surprise, by recognizing my potential and abilities and by using my strengths for the company’s benefits, with no hesitation. I got tasks which allowed me to work first hand with the Corporate Design of the company. I was allowed to design visual elements which reflect the appearance of the company, such as the creation of the entire internal and external documents (certificates, questionnaires, business letters, Flyers, ect.). All of my ideas were taken on board and put into action. I have to emphasize that all this was part of the Cooperative Identity, which has a very important meaning for the management's strategies. I took this as an honour, being only an intern who was given a huge amount of responsibility.

Unfortunately all good has to come to an end, which meant for me that I had to go back home. After arriving back to my old life I noticed how much the cooperation with TTPL has helped me to develop myself, not only professionally but also personally. And all that in such a short period of time.

Nevertheless the team from TTPL did not forget me and kept in touch with me, letting me still designed some of their flyers from home.

Shortly after my internship I found work in Germany and stayed there for two and a half years. However during this time I started to miss my TTPL colleagues, the amazing atmosphere, the exiting tasks and even more the beautiful scenery of Torbay. So I decided to ask TTPL if they have a job for me and they answered straight away with an offer.
After that I quit my job in Germany, packed my bags and without any hesitations moved straight back to the best team in the world. However this time it was different than in my previous visit. This time I knew where I was going and how I would be welcomed, and yet everything was far above my expectations.

At this point I want to thank my TTPL colleagues for the incredible opportunity to be able to work here again. I want to show special appreciation for the feeling everyone has given me, that I am an important part of this team no matter which position I am or was in.
It is an honour and privilege for me to work for such a great company and especial to live in this beautiful city. I hope that with my hard work I will be able to give them as much back as they have given me. 
Tanja
