COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT

My first two weeks as an AutoCom intern have gone well. But as I embrace my third week with more comfort and confidence I am now excited to spread my wings and fly. I feel with the nerves gone I can finally show off my fun and creative side. I believe fear can be what holds someone back from greatness. So while I’m an intern at AutoCom I am going to show off my personality and not be some dull employee that doesn’t want to move up in the world. I’m going to bring fresh and hopefully innovative ideas while dealing with our clients in the areas of social media and video. I plan on bringing smiles to the faces of the people I work with, and I hope that by the end of my internship I can call it a success!

On another note, I realize that I am one of two interns currently working at AutoCom Associates. And considering Merle is from Germany, I feel obligated to make sure her American experience in Michigan is off the chain. A week ago she experienced an American St. Patrick’s Day, and she has the 4^th of July to look forward to. So, I guess you could say I am excited for her.

Here is a picture of Merle hard at work after eating lunch. I am curious though, do all Germans eat lunch around 1:30pm instead of noon or is it just the German girls that work at AutoCom? Also, I’m getting tired of eating a sandwich for lunch everyday. Does anyone have a recommendation on what to pack for lunch?

Here is a picture of my ugly mug.

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
