Today is my Purple Birthday, so I though what better of a day to talk about myself and joining Purple.
Purple took me in and straight off the bat, started to teach me the rights and wrongs of working in the IT industry. I was previously in another company and joined purple next to no knowledge and from there the team all chipped in to teach me lots of things to get me to where I am today a year later.
I like to look back on websites I built when I first joined and compare them to websites that I build now, it shows to me that I am improving.
After two months went by at Purple, the team decided to take me Go Karting as a welcome gift, this was an amazing experience as I had never been out with work colleagues before, nor had I ever had so much fun before, so it was a real eye opener as to what a good team actually is.
We have been on many team days out since then and they have all been good fun, we have also had a Christmas party with a surprise magician. (I have never seen magic performed before unless it’s on the tv).
A week later, all the team surprised me on my Birthday and they bought me my first pint!
Over the past year, I have become confident and have learnt a lot and I am grateful for the support of the team. All the team at purple have brought me up in their family and taught me right from wrong and opened my eyes to the whole wide world for me to see.
Now I’m confident, independent and have learnt the skill of working as part of a team, overall I feel like a kinder person.
I can not thank the team enough for what they have done for me, they have made my first year here the best year of my life and I hope for the years to come that it gets better and better!
Thank you Purple!
