Hello everyone,

My name is Philipp Weber and I am 20 years old. I am from Regensburg, Germany and I study European Business Studies at the OTH Regensburg. Since my studies require two internships which have to be abroad, I decided to do one of them in the United States.

 

I’ve always wanted to go to the United States. I wanted to experience the way of living in the land of limitless opportunities. As I have been to the UK for 6 months, I have already experienced what it means to travel to a new country where nearly everything is different. And by the way this feeling of experiencing new things and meeting new people is addictive!

 

Like Christoph I have to work in Germany, due to the current situation. I’ve already planned so much about what to do when I am finally in the US, but unfortunately things turned out differently. Canada and LA where on my list for example. Even if I’d rather be in the US, I appreciate the positive things about this situation.

 

I am looking forward to when I and Christoph can go to America in January for at least a month. Hopefully this works out! I am very excited to get to know the life in the US and to meet my work colleagues.

 

Although, my internship is not in the US at the moment, I am sure I will gain a lot of new skills, experiences and will have a lot of fun working at AutoCom Associates.

 

In the end, I would like to thank Christoph for helping me and getting myself familiar with all the work tasks!

 

Have a good time!

 

Philipp

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
