Interns@AutoCom

Hi Everyone! My second week here at AutoCom has begun! I thoroughly enjoyed my first week. Although I was kept quite busy, I feel as though I have already learned many new things and have been well acquainted with the work that AutoCom does. I have had the opportunity to work on several assignments for AutoCom’s clients. I was also able to sit in on two conference calls to clients in Europe, which I found it particularly interesting. The entire AutoCom team has been very welcoming and helpful. I have enjoyed exploring the Detroit area so far as well. Although the driving can be stressful, the area is wonderful. Planning has begun for the upcoming Tech Crawl in June, so I am told that the office will be exceptionally busy in the upcoming weeks. I am looking forward to assisting with the event! I am here for just over three more months, and hope to contribute a great deal, and learn even more! Daryn

Hello AutoCom, My name is Kiril and I will be the upcoming member of AutoCom's great team. I will start my internship sometime in June. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and to work in a great and creative atmosphere. I am a student at the Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany and I am almost finished with my Masters in Communications and Linguistics. Prior to my graduation I would like to gain some great work experience in this industry. My wish to go to another country for an internship is closely related with my international and ever mobile background. I am a native Russian, however grew up in the Baltic region. After graduating school I moved to England and after spending some time to Germany. Later, I spent a half a year in Scandinavia and now my course is set on a new continent. This is particularly exciting in terms of me not ever being outside Europe before. I am anxious to see and to get to know the industry, but more of course, all you colleagues from ...

Hi- It’s Brittany again. My internship has come to an end. I really have learned much in my short time here at AutoCom Associates. I was most excited to work on event planning when I began my internship. Fortunately, I was able to help out with an event, the SAE World Congress Supplier Dinner. My experience here has really introduced me to what working in a PR firm will actually be like. It also has helped me become well-rounded, learning to do different aspects of public relations. I appreciate AutoCom showing me the ropes and hopefully I will utilize them upon graduation. Well, it’s about that time to clock out. Until we meet again! Brittany

All of us at AutoCom, employees and interns past and present, were profoundly saddened to learn of Johanna Rak's death earlier this week in Germany. Johnna was a dear personal friend. She was a wonderful, deeply caring individual who was extremely intelligent, creative and hard working. She touched in a personal way the lives of everyone with whom she worked. She always will live on in our memories. She will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to Sven, her family and her friends throughout the world. Larry

Hi Everyone, My name is Daryn Awde and I will be the newest addition to AutoCom when I begin my internship at the beginning of May. I am a student at the University of Western Ontario and will graduate with an Honors of Business Administration in 2013. I have spent the last several summers studying internationally in South America, Europe, and North America. I am now looking forward to the great learning opportunities that await at AutoCom this summer. I have a great interest in the work that AutoCom does and anticipate having a very rewarding experience. I look forward to being able to continue blogging throughout my time at AutoCom.

> Hey AutoCom fans, I am happy to wri te another blog entry today for AutoCom's intern blog. For those who don't know me: I used to work at AutoCom from October 2007 until August 2008. That seems so long ago when I think of the experiences I made since I left AutoCom but it also seems like yesterday every time I visit the office. I remember good times working with Andi, Holly, Christina, Paul, Emily, Lauren, Toni, Tedi, Jan, Maggie, Dee, Marty, Jack and Larry. After I left AutoCom, I stayed in the states for three more weeks to visit Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. That was a great trip. For the first time, I did two days nothing but hiking. I was so exhausted... But hiking the Grand Canyon was amazing, the scenery was incredible. After a goodbye party at my roommates house it was time to fly back home. In Germany, my family and friends organized a surprise party. And I'm telling you I was surprised!!! I had no idea... There were more than 30 people standi...
