First Days

My trip started as a roller-coaster ride with lightning surrounding me in the skies. The flight from Frankfurt to Detroit was torture and a stomach ache experience, which I have never experienced before. I landed on a new continent with the same weather conditions as the ones which saw me off in the Old World. At first, everything reminded of the same old Europe I am accustomed to. However, then came massive vehicles, wide and multiple traffic lanes and gigantic family houses. The popular American Dream stood before my very eyes.

The first day in the office reminded me of my first days at other work places. I got to know all the colleagues, familiarized myself with the policies and had a short introduction into the work flow of the company. I would say AutoCom has surpassed all my previous work places – the colleagues were exceptionally sincere, friendly and very helpful. The office appears to be a very cozy place with close family-like relationships. Every person at AutoCom has made a wonderful and sophisticated first impression. This will truly be a place where I can actually learn and achieve – the two keywords to which all young career starters strive.

Besides my internship, I am hoping to meet more interesting people. I want to get to know the American mentality first hand. Of course, traveling around the States and Canada is also on my “to-do” list. The future is very promising – I am excited to see what it brings!

Talk to you soon!

About Cologne, Cars and Trees… - Update from the other Side of the Lake

 Hi or as we would say in Franconia "Servus", a couple of months have passed since I started my internship at AutoCom and even though I cannot share something about the amazing sites within and around Detroit, I can still give you an update on what is happening.  Philipp has joined us two months ago and we two are currently working on the Social Media Appearance of AutoCom. Even as "digital nomads" we encounter challenges and still have a lot to learn. However, it is great just to create new things from scratch or nearly immediately see a result when sharing a story or creating a post.  But enough of work… About Cologne Larry and the others offered me to go to Cologne to attend a meeting with a client and I - of course - couldn't resist and decided to stay even a bit longer. It was a nice trip with splendid late summer weather and I was able to take a lot of images - at least until my battery died.  About cars Since some of my initial projects were crushed by th...

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...

Hi everyone, My name is Sarah Heuser. I’m 23 years old and from a small town near Cologne, Germany. I just finished my master’s in Journalism and Corporate Communications at the University of Applied Sciences in Wuerzburg. Even though I have a bachelor’s degree in Media and American Studies, I have never been to the US before. That’s why I really wanted to do an internship here so I could see what life and work is like. Rebecca and Julian, the other AutoCom interns, picked me up from the airport last Saturday and my new roommates and some of their friends were already waiting for me. We are all living in Royal Oak, but I’m in a different house than the other AutoCom interns. They are currently taking me to work as I am still figuring out details regarding my car. Last week, which was also my first week at work, was the 4 th of July holiday. That’s why I joined Rebecca, Julian and other interns on a trip to New York. We drove over ten hours but it was worth it: the city is impr...
