I’m
very happy to share my experience. I live in Paris and I’m preparing a degree
in Business Development in my University. I was in Bournemouth to improve my
English skills then I took a coach to go to Torquay. From 1 July to 22 August
2014, I worked at TTPL as a marketing and event assistant in this town. My
first week in Torquay was difficult. I arrived alone with my English level. I
was lost and I had no idea how to get my bus. What’s happened during 2 months?
I remember my first and long week: “I’m sick about this country, I want to go
home”. But the other weeks are spent so quickly!!! Yes the first week is
difficult, but also your last day with your friends and your colleagues. The
events organized by our team (Boat party, Mambo club meeting and Mambo party,
London trip, Cockington trip, Splashdown Quaywest … ), but also the people I
had met. Contrary to what is said, the weather in England was good. Sunny for
our events and raining sometimes. I was responsible to organize the events and creating
guides for the trip that we had organized. But I also participate in the
conduct of the event. I have also created a “Survival guide: first week in England”
for the students who ask helps. For my first days I just had to prepare the
welcome pack for the student who arrived the following week in order to help
Sam in his work.
The staff in TTPL is fantastic, even if I had to bring some
M&M’s for Lorenzo when I needed his help to correct my mistake in English
when I had to send email for the student. You will find a very good atmosphere
in the office. With very good peoples and a very good coffee! Just the music
when you work in the office which should be updated.
