Hello everyone,

My name is Philipp Weber and I am 20 years old. I am from Regensburg, Germany and I study European Business Studies at the OTH Regensburg. Since my studies require two internships which have to be abroad, I decided to do one of them in the United States.

 

I’ve always wanted to go to the United States. I wanted to experience the way of living in the land of limitless opportunities. As I have been to the UK for 6 months, I have already experienced what it means to travel to a new country where nearly everything is different. And by the way this feeling of experiencing new things and meeting new people is addictive!

 

Like Christoph I have to work in Germany, due to the current situation. I’ve already planned so much about what to do when I am finally in the US, but unfortunately things turned out differently. Canada and LA where on my list for example. Even if I’d rather be in the US, I appreciate the positive things about this situation.

 

I am looking forward to when I and Christoph can go to America in January for at least a month. Hopefully this works out! I am very excited to get to know the life in the US and to meet my work colleagues.

 

Although, my internship is not in the US at the moment, I am sure I will gain a lot of new skills, experiences and will have a lot of fun working at AutoCom Associates.

 

In the end, I would like to thank Christoph for helping me and getting myself familiar with all the work tasks!

 

Have a good time!

 

Philipp

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...
