Behind the Scenes: Bertelsmann HR Services Internship Blog
Meet our Interns at Bertelsmann HR Services
HR Services at Bertelsmann has put together our list of interns and asked them to blog about their experiences working for a recruiting services department at a major media company.
Our interns work on many projects that are connected to the daily functions of our business units in the book publishing, music publishing, TV production, online and service units.
This is a great opportunity to hear first hand what its like to work across Bertelsmann from the people who are in the internships!
Never-ending Adventure
Since it is already Friday again I thought that it would be a good idea to update you on what has been going on this week. Time has been flying by and it feels like it only goes faster and faster. This week I have finished my project about social networks in different countries. The project has been a lot of fun and I believe that the presentation turned out really good. I have also decided what to do for my final project, but I have to do some more research before I tell you more about it. I have also been helping Freddie out with the Bertelsmann University, and since I am a management major it has been really cool to get some pointers on what to think about when hosting an event like this. We have also decided to make a video about how it is to intern at Bertelsmann so this week we have been having brainstorm meetings and our plan is to start filming on Monday. The idea is really cool so I hope that it turns out good.
Yesterday I went to Dave & Busters for the first time in my life and it was so much fun. I also saw the midnight premiere of New Moon, the second Twilight movie, and it was awesome. The funny thing is that the cinema was packed with young girls with Twilight t-shirts and every time one of the good looking guys was shown on the screen everybody was clapping and “ohh-ing”. Very different from going to the cinema in Sweden, and a cool experience. On Thursday the whole IIB group went ice skating in Bryant Park. It was really cool to play around on ice skates in the middle of Manhattan, and every time I looked up it felt surreal. So my life in New York continues, I am learning and experiencing a lot and the adventure is never-ending :)
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Learning, living and enjoying!
Another week has past here at Bertelsmann, Inc. HR Services and I have to say that time goes really fast when you are having fun. This week I have finished my website, which is unbelievable since I did not know anything about this kind of things when I arrived here three weeks ago. I am very proud of it and want everybody to see it, so feel free to check it out on: http://ninalemic.jimdo.com/. I have also designed a cool twitter page for my self and right now I am working on an exciting project about different social networks. We have continued our mission to try all the different food and restaurants that this area has to offer. This has probably led to my stomach getting a little bigger, but also to us having a lot of fun and a great lunch experiences every day :)
Last weekend was Halloween, which was great fun. My friend and I decided to go back to New Paltz and celebrate it. This was awesome and we got a traditional Halloween with a parade, trick or treating, pumpkin carving and cool costumes.
Ok this is it for today, I will write again next week.
Enjoy your weekend!

New York's Menu
Another week has gone by. This makes week number 4. Just a little about what has been on my menu. We welcomed two new interns last week; Miguel and Nina. I spent this week refreshing my memory on html coding and feeling a little fatigued. I believe I’m still recovering from midterm week, but I should be up n running by Monday. The New York City special this weekend is the Halloween parade. I’ve already spotted a pirate in the office and am excited to see the Best dressed/costume winner at the parade.
I still haven’t visited the infamous Dr. Seuss room Maybe that’s an adventure better left for Monday.
Best,

Wendy's Second Week and Ssecond blog!
It is officially my second week at Bertelsmann and do I dare say “it has been a roller coaster week”. This week (10/11-10/17) threw a lot of bumps at me and I’m not sure I can say I made it out with out any bruises. This week marked the mid point in my college semester which meant midterms.
In my opinion midterm week is one of the worst weeks a college student faces. It is a 7 days period where all the professors decide to conspire and make papers/projects/ assignments due and tests given on the same day. Although Monday, being a holiday (Christopher Columbus day) kick started the week off slow, the pace didn’t carry on through out the rest of the week. On Tuesday I tried not to let the 7am-10pm school day wear me down, yet by the time I got home at 12am I was too tired to even eat dinner. Wednesday rolled around but this Wednesday wasn’t the typically Wednesday it was October 14, the day of our first briefing with Mio, back in the office and full of Ideas from Germany. It was also the day of my 21st birthday. Celebration of this memorable occasion was cut short in order to prepare for my presentation and exams for the next day. Thursday rolled around and the lack of sleep and extreme stress from midterms wore me down. With the (midterm) week winding down, it brings me to today: Friday. And I couldn’t’ summarize this day better then TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday)
On top of all the events it has been a very cold week in NY. So wish me warmth when I participate in the annual Breast Cancer Walk this Sunday!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS...
This week I did plenty of work on the Fremantle website for the U.S. and U.K. version. This was the most I have worked with on BeeSite since I started at Bertelsmann. I was actually fun, once I learned how to operate everything. On to more important things like the missing hot chocolate. I'm distraught, but I'll be back to normal soon. I just don't understand why something so good, could be taken away from me. Back to the topic at hand, this week, we also had our profiles posted on the CYOC website, which is excting, so check that out.
Anywho, I'll be getting back to work now, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. Peace, Love, and Food. :)

1,2,3...Weeks!
Here I Go Again...
So, this week was exciting just like all the others. Michelle and I worked on our new project, which we think is brillant, although it's still in the planning phase. I looked at a few more of the sites that Bertelsmann maintains and I was able to give input on what I felt would make it look better.
(Side Note: Lunch is really great around here. Just stop by the cafeteria or any of the shops and you'll find that everything looks as good as it tastes.)
Back to business! I thought this week went well and I got a lot accomplished. I'll continue to keep you posted...Until Next Time. Peace. :)
