Raman Nepali

“I see many young people who are taking lead and building their society, family and personality and that’s a beautiful moment.” As a Motivational Trainer Raman Nepali has to deal with people who are not satisfied with their lives and everytime someone finds his way to happiness, that are the coolest moments in his job. His 14-year-old self should ask himself, what is a goal in his life, who he is and why he’s here, because “if I started thinking about these three question life would be bigger I guess.”

Melanie Reichel

La producción artesanal de zapatos implica “diseño, elaboración de los patrones, elegir las pieles, escoger los materiales, cortar las pieles y empezar a elaborar el zapato, coserlo, montarlo, sacarlo de la horma y entregarlo al cliente”. Así lo señala Melanie Reichel creadora y diseñadora de zapatos, quien considera que para ejercer un oficio tan noble como es el mundo de los zapatos: “hay que formarse y creo que es una formación continua que lleva varios años y quizás pues toda la vida, pues es algo continuo”

Philipp Wolschner

“Einerseits einfach das Team, mit dem du jeden Tag arbeitest, weil es sind nicht wirklich Arbeitskollegen sondern Freunde. Man lernt viel voneinander“, beschreibt Philipp Wolschner, Sales & Account Management bei CashQuizz, unter anderem als das Coolste an seinem Job. Das aktuelle Hauptprojekt des Start Ups ist eine Art Millionenshow am Handy. Der Gedanke dahinter ist, “Apps zu entwickeln, wo Leute nicht ihre Zeit verschwenden, sondern ihre Zeit sinnvoll und gewinnbringend verbringen.“

Theresa Steininger

“Bei all dem, was es Cooles zu tun gibt auf der Welt: Müßiggang, Entspannung und Erholung haben auch ihren Wert und man kann durchaus auch Zeit dafür verwenden“, ist der Ratschlag, den Theresa Steininger, CEO und Founder von Wohnwagon.at, ihrem 14-jährigen Ich geben würde. Das Coolste an ihrem Projekt des autarken Wohnens ist, dass man Kontakt zu verschiedenen Leuten hat und “jeden Tag habe ich das Gefühl um zehn Zentimeter zu wachsen. Das ist was mir am meisten Spaß macht bei dem Projekt, dass ich jeden Tag eine Bereicherung habe.“

Cennet Bay

“Sehr gut gefällt mir, dass ich sofort Ergebnisse sehe und diese auch gleich anmelden kann. Und der Austausch mit den Kunden, wenn Unklarheiten sind“, erklärt Cennet Bay, Test Spezialistin ihre Tätigkeit bei ANECON. Bei dem Testdesign und der Testdurchführung sind besonders wichtig “Genauigkeit und ein bisschen Kreativität. Man muss in alle Wege denken können. Auch sehr wichtig ist ständiges Interesse und Engagement an Neuem. Man muss am Ball bleiben.“

Marlene Neidert

“Don’t be afraid of failing. Because if you are afraid of failing you don’t give your best anymore“, is the most important advice Marlene Neidert, Account Manager at Ploner Communications, would give her 14-year-old self. “The coolest thing is, that it gets never boring, because I would probably get bored if I would be just working in one field of an agency. But I have all different types of tasks, that include being creative and being really organized at the same time, which is the perfect connection. I like it.“

Jacob Schäfer

“Mit das Coolste ist das viele Rumreisen. Es macht mir persönlich sehr viel Spaß fast tagtäglich irgendwo anders in Deutschland zu sein und dabei natürlich auch immer komplett andere Leute kennenzulernen“, beschreibt Jacob Schäfer, Vereinsvorstand bei Bonding Studenteninitiative E.V., als das wesentlich Motivierende an seiner Tätigkeit. Sein Bereich umfasst Veranstaltungsorganisation, IT und die Arbeit im Förderkreis, wobei Veranstaltungen “der eigentliche Vereinszweck sind - also Kontakt zwischen Studenten und Unternehmen herzustellen.“

Marta Jandová

“No advice, because you shouldn’t regret anything you did in your life“, would be the only thing Marta Jandová, Singer, would give to her 14-year-old self. Explaining the best part of her job is easy for her: “The coolest thing about my job is, that I get to travel a lot. That I get to meet people that I would never have met before. You can go to places you could never go to. Because people know you, people open doors for you.“

Pontus Eskilsson

“Should have been better at school. Should have been more focused on school. Try it out. Just give it another shot“, is the main advice Pontus Eskilsson, Partnerships Lead, Nordics, would give his 14-year-old self. In part his job is networking – developing the community and working together with partners. Another important field is helping the content creators with their problems: “Sometimes there are coming up problems you really want to help someone with, but you can‘t. I can always try to find solutions. I’m a problemsolver.“

Essere sempre disponibili a risolvere i problemi delle persone e renderle soddisfatte, è questo il piacere nel lavoro per Aldo Pompili, commerciante, socio di un enoteca e e volontario in un negozio equo solidale. Tra i limiti più grandi ci sono le difficoltà burocratiche da seguire, e delle volte bisogna veramente avere pazienza con la clientela. Nato a Roma da una famiglia con 8 fratelli, ha lasciato l'università perché non gli piaceva ed ha aperto un negozio di acquari, seguendo la sua passione. Successivamente è passato dall'acqua al vino.

Marzia Giuliani

"Consiglierei di studiare molto di più, di essere più disponibile nei confronti degli altri, e di rubare il più possibile con gli occhi tutto quello che mi passa intorno, perché molte volte siamo troppo disattenti, mentre volendo, l'esperienza si fa anche guardando gli altri". Questo ci racconta l'amministratore delegato de LA VENETA SERVIZI Marzia Giuliani che ci dice come fare l'amministratore richieda una professionalità adeguata, perché le conseguenze delle attività di un'azienda "possono incidere in maniera favorevole ma anche sfavorevole sulla società".

Fare la logopedista è il mestiere più bello del mondo, e quando si hanno dei risultati si hanno delle gioie profonde. Questa è la storia di Manuela Giarrè, di mestiere logopedista, ma anche madre di 5 figli. Tra le cose più difficili ci sono i Report da scrivere, e i rapporti con gli altri professionisti. E' comunque un lavoro umanamente difficile. Quando grazie ad un'amica ha scoperto la logopedia ne è rimasta innamorata. In genere lavora sino a pranzo, dopo di che si toglie il cappello da logopedista per indossare quello di mamma. Avere 5 figli porta soprattutto difficoltà organizzative, e ci sono momenti di grande stanchezza, però anche questo fa parte della vita.

Gennaro Naddeo

"Mi piace fare il Maestro Pasticciere perché mi piacciono molto le decorazioni e mi piace molto insegnare". Questo ci racconta Gennaro Naddeo, Maestro Pasticciere alla Cherubini Catering di Roma. La cosa difficile è che il pasticciere lavora quando gli altri riposano, ad esempio nei giorni di festa, a natale e pasqua, etc. Quello che serve per diventare un buon pasticcere è una buona manualità, e lo si vede subito se uno la possiede o meno. "Gia da come si muove in un laboratorio e la disponibilità che mette, si capisce" ci dice Gennaro.

Roberto Leoni

"Nel mio piccolo, creo" E' questa la cosa più bella del suo lavoro, come ci racconta il regista e autore cinematografico Roberto Leoni, che ci racconta la sua infanzia in una Trastevere del dopo guerra, in cui andare bene a scuola era quasi un disonore.

Tra i suoi consigli quello di imparare le lingue, di viaggiare, e soprattutto di aprire il nostro cuore ai sogni.

Fabian Kjaer-Thomson

“The coolest thing about Cosplay is that it’s having fun with all your friends and stuff, like ‘wwoooh!!’ and jumping around like maniacs and also a bit of the attention, that you get, when people are like: ‘Hey, can I get a picture of your costume, it looks awesome!’ I’m like: ‘Yeaah, take all the pictures!’”, Fabian Kjaer-Thompson tells about his life as a Cosplayer. “It helps to have some education, but it’s not necessary.”
