Season ended. To be continued.

Dear Friends:

Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria...Four years in Germany. I have lived in different cities and esperienced different cultures, now I have spent one year in the U.S.!

I am very thankful for the chance to obtain a good personal and professional experience. I will always remember my interview with Larry over one year ago in the lobby of the Sheraton hotel in Frankfut-am-Main, Germany. It was a milestone! I am a completely different person since that time. I will miss all my colleagues from AutoCom very much! In the USA you better understand that we are truly leaving in a globalized world, more than anywhere else in the world!

Today is my last day by AutoCom. How do I feel about it? The time has come to close all open chapters and back-up the good times. For now I am planning to go to New York! I am looking forward for a world of new possibilities and challenges…season ended. To be continued.

I wish you all Happy Holidays!
Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr ;-)

All best,
Alina

Hi Alina...

You'll be greatly missed.

I hope you continued to stay in touch through the blog site and also directly through emails and phone calls.

Best wishes on the completion of your university thesis and course work! And congratulations on the successful completion of your internship at AutoCom.

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...

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...

Traverse City 2009

Squeezed in a Jeep between dozens of boxes filled with flash-drives, key chains, pens and pencils, part of our staff headed to Northern Michigan last week for the annual Management Briefing Seminars (MBS). The MBS is one of the highlights in the automotive events calendar with the “who’s who” attending from the global auto industry. It has become tradition over the years that AutoCom hosts several special events for its clients during that week. This year’s AutoCom team was Larry, Jim, Craig, Jack, Tedi, Eleanor and me. Arriving in Traverse City on Monday afternoon, we started decorating the suite that AutoCom rents during that time at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. The suite was open from 7am until 9pm, Monday until Friday, and provided a place for our clients as well as for journalists to work and relax in a nice and quiet atmosphere. To say that Eleanor, Tedi and I weren’t exactly dressed in business clothes would be an understatement. Somehow we had a different schedule in mind...
