I won’t be an intern anymore. :)

Hi everybody!

There is news again from my life. You know, I am a person who never stops doing something. Either I travel almost every weekend (like I did in the States) or I am looking for new challenges all the time. :-)

Well, my internship in Munich as a marketing consulting intern is not too bad, but I have finished University…so what I want is a real job and not an internship. (The only internship I would love to do, even after I graduated, is the one I already did with AutoCom). :) So I continued applying for jobs. I restricted the area to Bavaria for the first applications, because I love that part of Germany. I love the Bavarian dialect (it is so cute and sexy the same time). I love their “Brezn” and their white sausages. And here is the news: I will start on the 26th of November as an employee at Novartis. Novartis is a huge German pharmaceutical company. I will work there for the strategic sourcing marketing. So I will be the one choosing agencies, advertising materials and so on. I am so excited. It will be my first real job. Well, but for that I have to move to Nuremberg.




I love Munich and my apartment there, but what is it worth when you are not really happy with your job? Actually that’s the place where you spend most of you time. :) And Nuremberg is a really nice city, too. It is smaller but cute. There are a lot of old houses and churches and it is famous for the Christmas market (and you know, I love “GlĂĽhwein” *hahaha*).








So that’s the latest news. Cross your fingers that I will be successful taking that new challenge and that I will love going to work. :) Well, their won’t be anything better than coming to AutoCom in the mornings. Having Maggie smiling at me and Dee listening to all my problems and other stories and sharing my travel experience with the whole office. ;o)

Miss you…

Take care,

Bianca

Congrats Bianca!

I think it all sounds wonderful!
I know how much you enjoyed Munich, but this is the time for new adventures and new venues!

We all miss you so much and keep hoping to read that blog that tells us you are coming back for another visit.

Best Wishes follow you where ever you go.

Oh mommy...

I would love to write that post. Better today than tomorrow. There is a plan, but it is still far away. I have to save some money (which will be possible with my new job) and then I might be coming for a visit next summer. I decided, the next time I will come over will be in summer again. So I can enjoy the really pretty Michigan. :)And you know: Summer clothes don't need that much space in the suitcases, so I can go and buy more new stuff than in the winter. Haha.

We WILL SEE US AGAIN, I promise.

Kisses to you momma.
Bianca

Hi everybody.
So now my first week at Novartis is over. And I can just tell: I love that job. Well, till now. :) It's a great challenge. I learn a lot of new stuff, especially the sourcing part, which is completely new to me. My collegues are almost as nice as the autocom team was. :-)
I feel good there, but I am still homesick...there is no better place for me than michigan (although you never want to beleive me) :) I miss my friends there, the crazy shots with the funny names, the seasons which are much more better than in Germany and the lakes. :( But I have learned that you can't have everything (unfortunately). But who knows what happens in the future...I still would jump in the plane right away if there was the opportunity to work in my favorite State. :)

And hey Don: It's so great to hear from you. How are you doing?

Yours,
Bianca

Hi Bianca..

Sorry I've been so slow to post. Have been traveling lots recently....Frankfurt, New Delhi, Louisville and Austin.

Super news about your job at Novartis. Keep us up to date on how things go.

I'm sure you'll love Nuremberg. I've been there several times. Jens Meiners grandmother used to live there as well.

Keep writing!

Jack inducted into PRSA Detroit Chapter Hall of Fame!

Hi everyone! Last night we went to the PRSA Detroit Chapter’s annual meeting. During the meeting was a ceremony for Jack Harned’s induction into the Hall of Fame. The meeting was downtown at the beautiful DTE Energy building. We had a great time networking with fellow colleagues in the PR industry and catching up with previous AutoCom employees. After dinner, Marty gave a great introduction to Jack. Jack’s speech was absolutely wonderful! Every one loved it! He talked about some of his past experiences from his hometown newspaper to working with GM and NASA. It seemed that everyone loved hearing his stories as much as we do at our Friday lunches! It’s great to know that Jack’s peers recognize all of his hard work. He has accomplished and seen so much, he truly deserves this award. From all of us at AutoCom: Congrats, Jack! We are all so proud of you! Leave some comments for Jack and keep an eye out for pictures, coming soon, at AutoCom's Facebook page! Until next time, Julia, Kerry

Time to say Goodbye

Only two days left until Don Haberek will leave the AutoCom Team. He was our COO, interns supervisor and the best cake cutter ever! He always had time for the intern's issues and was listening very patiently and carefully to us. Even if he had to repeat his advice a billion times for the foreign interns! But he wasn't only a great interns supervisor. He also gave everbody the oppotunity to gain some weight, when he was cutting perfectly our (nearly weekly ;-)) cake. We really hope, we will find somebody who has the same great technic to cut a cake: 1) Be very gentle to the cake! 2) Use a very sharpe-edged knife, especially our chocolate junky Mareike doesn't want to waste a bit! 3) Be sure that you cut enough pieces. But we think we allready have a new cake cutter. After a long long time Don finally found his twin brother. And accidentally he is working for AutoCom aswell. :-) Who is dressing like Don, must have the same skills! Thanks for everything, we wi ll miss having

Who is Wayne???

Now I am more than one month here and time is going by so fast. I wanted to post earlier, but we had some problems with the blog. My first month was more like a week. Getting a Social Sec. No, a bank account, finding a new place, discovering Detroit (I got totally lost when I moved to my new place, but thank god I have my own navigation system called Nicky&Josh :o)). My new place downtown. I just have to figure out, how I can get rid of my room mate "Young" :-) But the hardest thing was to find a car. In particular I had one big problem: Former interns bought their cars at Wayne’s garage. But nobody at AutoCom knew Wayne’s last name. And trying to find Wayne by the search terms “Wayne, garage and car” at google was very ineffective. Asking all former interns was interesting, too. Nicky and I got very different information and so we tried to merge all the different pieces of the puzzle to one big “Wayne’s-Address-Puzzle”. But finally we got to Wayne’s garage. For all futu
