Interns and Co-ops Showcase Their Team Members on Social Media
June 24, 2015
The topic for the social media campaign this week was #MyTeam. We wanted to see the interns’ and co-ops’ teammates, who they like to spend their down time with, and what they really like about them.
Here are some of the #MyTeam posts:
COMBU Engineering Intern Kris Kachin shared this photo, “These people make the day that much more fun! #MyTeam #InternYazaki"
COMBU EV Engineering Co-op Megan Pelzel shared this funny picture of her coworkers, “Team work at its finest! #internyazaki #myteam"
Megan also shared this picture of her team, “Our weekly meetings are a great way to keep updated on what everyone is doing in #myteam #internyazaki"

A quick challenge this week involved interns and co-ops updating their LinkedIn profiles. By adding Yazaki and including a brief description of what they are doing here they were entered into a raffle to win a gift card. Three winners were chosen, Kris Kachin, Joseph Jarbo, and Eric Lindlbauer.
Kris and Joseph shared their excitement:
Joseph showed off his Panera gift card, “Just won this bad boy for updating my linked in profile #internyazaki"
We had tons of buzz on social media this week. Here are a few general posts interns and co-ops shared.
“It’s already been a month since I began and I’ve already been involved with two projects, test driving cars, and enjoying intern activities. Can’t wait for the next two months! #internyazaki” – Aditya Agrawal
