Interns@AutoCom

Hi everyone,

It’s been over seven weeks since I arrived in the US and started my internship at AutoCom Associates. I already have experienced so many unique moments which I will never forget.

In the past few weeks, I was able to go to Columbus, Ohio for a short weekend trip to see Glass Animals, a British Indie-band, as well as to visit the Ohio State University. To experience an American university campus was such an experience since the campus is way bigger than a university would be in Germany or the UK.

Moreover, I was in Detroit Downtown while the Detroit Marathon was happening to cheer on some running friends I’ve made within the Royal Oak Runners Group. Detroit is even nicer with no cars on the streets and the spirit was awesome and inspiring.

Detroit has so much to offer. Milky Chance, a German Band, was playing at the Fillmore in Downtown Detroit. Since I am a native German who loves their music, I needed to see them and to support their North American Tour. The concert was such a nice experience and the Fillmore is the perfect location for a concert like that.

Skyline of New York City

On a weekend in October I went to New York to meet up with my brother who was on vacation there. I’ve got to see all the sights you need to see in New York again, since it was my second time in New York. I also watched my first American football game, which was quite an experience. Tailgate parties don’t exist in Germany and that was something completely new for me and fun to watch. The same for the game. My brother needed to explain quite a lot to me before I had any clue of what was going on on that field. But after some time, I kinda got a feeling for what was happening.

So, my first two months in Michigan have been quite busy and full of travelling. Now I am excited for the falling leaves and the upcoming Christmas time which is quite soon.

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...

It feels good to be home!

After completing my third year at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula, it feels good to be back home and in the office again. Larry was very gracious in allowing me to come back to AutoCom. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Tedi Falvo. Last summer I did an internship with AutoCom, and learned a lot about public relations outside of the classroom. Books can only teach you so much- the real learning comes when you go out on your own and put everything you have learned to the test. Last summer was a great experience, and I was thankful to work with such a great staff that was willing to help me succeed. While I was in Marquette, Mich. continuing my studies in public relations, and sociology, I remained in contact with AutoCom. When I had a question regarding an aspect of my studies, I always knew where to turn! It is nice to have wonderful people surrounding and filling you with all of their knowledge. That is one aspect I love about working here-everyone wo...

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...
