Internship Complete – Time For Traveling

The last six days are over, my vacation begins. The last days were a further proof for it, time is flying by faster and faster. For my last day, Merle brought tasty classic Doughnuts to the office, which weren’t existing anymore shortly after lunch. Yummy :) Thanks again!!

Famous Doughnuts







I will definitely miss the AutoCom team, my work in the office and even the fact driving to Bloomfield through Woodward Ave every morning. It was a pleasure to meet you and to work with all of you together. Even on busy days, we had a great time and fun! Fortunately we didn’t have say good bye yet, because we will meet again for a final dinner in May, before I go back to Germany.

One of my personal goals was to improve my English skills in meetings, while writing e-mails, during conference calls or just in short chats. But I was also trying to catch up special sentences, which were not usual or common for me or just sounded funny. Starting from “opening cans of worms” up to “nailing topics down” or “killing two birds with one stone”, you can find some of my favorite empty phrases and hilarious sentences below:

“They’re marching to their own drum.”; “He is running around with his hair on fire.”; “How are you?... I am living the dream!”; “Happy Friday”; “That’s kind of loosy goosy.”; “Then the little doggy is chasing his own tail!”; “Don’t be like stiff and staffy”; “That is completely dodo!”; “Google is wrong!”

As I took my vacation in the end of my internship, now I am able to travel a couple of days longer. I will start my little road trip in Toronto, plan to see the Niagara Falls and to visit Buffalo, Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Couchsurfing the country, I am looking forward to this next period in the U.S., to meet up again with extraordinary people who show me their way of life.

Bye bye for the moment – Maybe I will update with a final blog post, when I am back from my trip.


From now on our new intern Nikolas will update you about his experiences.

Location: 74 West Long Lake Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304, USA

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...
