Hello it’s me – “the new one”


Hi to all of you,

My name is Christoph and I am a 22-year-old student living in Germany where I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in International Business at the University of Applied Science Georg Simon Ohm in Nuremberg.

First of all, I have to agree that it was tough for me to create this article.

I looked at articles of former interns and realized that many of them wrote about the first days in the US and how it was like, to be a stranger in a strange land.

For me, this is quite different. Even if I currently have had my first days at AutoCom, I am not physically in the US. 

I am working in Germany. No first drive to work. No first typically American dish. No cultural clashes. And most sadly, no possibility of seeing my colleagues and roommates. Instead it is working from home (mostly while sitting in the garden), eating the same food, and already knowing the way to work (shouldn’t be that hard at least).

Even though I cannot be in the US right now, I have already some plans for my stay in Detroit. I love photography and I hope that the city will help me to improve my skills in making some street art images. Moreover, I was told how rich Detroit is regarding music and I am burning in to explore that scene. I also intend to tour around the Great Lakes and might take one or two trips to Chicago as well.

I am even more excited than before even if I don’t know how exactly my internship will look like. But, let’s find out!

Last but not least, I would like to thank Ramona for the great help that enables me to have the best start possible.

Thank you!
Chris

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...

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...
