Goodbye Kim!

It’s unbelievable how fast time flies! At the end of January Kim already had her last day here at AutoCom as her internship period came to an end. I’m glad that I could spend the last four months together with her at work and outside of the office as well. She was a great co-worker and always spread a good mood through the office with her smile :) I very much enjoyed our lunch breaks in which we typically ate pasta, rice or wraps together and reviewed the last weekend or talked about food, upcoming and past city trips or the time here in the U.S. in general. I will never forget how she talked to herself while working and how she put balsamic sauce on every lunch break dish she ate.


Also, after work and on the weekends we had a great time and did a lot of fun things together. No matter whether we cooked pasta with dinosaur nuggets, went shopping in the evening, listened and sang along to music during our drive to the office or went to a bar or restaurant in Royal Oak – we always laughed a lot :) And we even handled less pleasant situations like push-starting a stuck car in the middle of a snowy street or selecting a Halloween costume late in the evening at a very crowded Halloween store after we already spent over an hour in another store (thanks for the patience that evening Kim :D). All in all, we had a great time working together at AutoCom and living near each other in Royal Oak!

I and the whole AutoCom team wish you lots of fun as well as many new experiences during your study semester in Brazil. Thank you Kim for your time at AutoCom, we will miss you a lot!

We will see each other again when we’re both back in Germany later this year! ;)

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...
