Job Tales - I interview professionals to help you become who you wish to be

Episode 95 of Job Tales is out! Listen to Stefan Lendi’s interview : The Job Tale of a Marketer. You will learn :

 - How Stefan got his first job in marketing without experience (hint: it's not sending resumes)
 - How to avoid being replaced by AI and stay relevant in today's marketplace

This week’s Job Tales Interview is with a Marketer. Stefan Lendi has been practicing marketing for more than twenty years within companies such as IBM, Nestlé, Danone, Nespresso as well as various SMEs. He completed his marketing studies at Harvard Business School and launched several reference websites and eCommerce. Today, he systematizes his knowledge into a series of simple elements in the form of easy methods, frameworks and practical tools to allow anyone to surpass themselves.

Welcome to another episode of Job Tales: the podcast where you can listen to dozens of interviews about your potential favorite jobs. Today I have Mathilda Toyloy as my guest, she is a young veterinarian working in Switzerland.

Like with human medical studies, animal medicine takes a long time, and the love for animals may not be enough to endure years of studies. Love for animals and discipline through years of university are the good mix to enjoy a profession that will take you close to your furred loved ones. 

Stay tuned for more episodes!

Welcome to Job Tales, the podcast that tells personal stories about all kinds of jobs existing around the world! Stefano studied medicine in Peru and became a medical doctor after 7 years of studies.

In my interview with Stefano I ask about his personal curriculum, what it takes to become a doctor, what skills, hard and soft, are required and what he has learnd from the past. Enjoy this episode of Job Tales!

This week’s Job Tales Interview revolves around Music. Thierry Jaccard is a musician and he plays in The Two blues band. The piece in the intro is by the band. It is not easy to pursue your musical passion and make a living. I find Thierry’s interview interesting because he tells us about the balance he has found, that allows him to include music in his life.

This week’s Job Tales Interview is with Tim Bishop, Officer in Charge of Jet Operations (Einsatzleiter in German) at rega, the Swiss Air Rescue. Whether you have a medical background, you are a helicopter or jet pilot, or you have an event management, operations or logistics education, you can consider working for rega, or for similar organisations in your country of residence.

Picture this : you are 18, you finished your secondary school and need to start thinking about your professional life. Asia loves arts, so she decided to join the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan to become a curator. Fast forward 4 to 5 years, and Asia is now graduated in fine arts, but something happened since her first years at university. I won’t spoil the story, I’ll just say stay tuned because Asia’s Job Tale may help you look at your own path from a different light. 

Hassan Bugnard started his career as a Teacher, social worker, and school director in Switzerland. This podcast episode is therefore about education. 

The words I take from my interview with Hassan are : with a great background you can have great perspectives ; he also recommends that you start your first job, do your first experience, even if it might not be your dream job. But from there you can move on. Another element I take from today is that life will throw tests at you : in Hassan’s case he had to reinvent himself in a new country for the sake of family, and thanks to this flexibility he has gained a new experience in a job that gave him new richness beyond teaching.  

Gabriele’s interview is interesting for all those who want to engage in scientific studies, specifically in renewable energies, and who wonder whether it is a good idea to do a PHD or not. Gabriele is a Post-Doctoral Researcher on Energy Systems Optimisation. He tells us about his personal path to becoming a researcher, and his choice of research vs business.

Thank you Gabriele!

Guido Battaglia’s interview was right after the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in December 2022. He works for the Center for Sport and Human Rights as the Head of Policy and Outreach. Qatar was an important platform to align the sport arena with the principles of human rights. Guido has a background in law.

So, if you are attracted by the studies of law but you are looking for an alternative to law practice and court cases, this interview will give you a different perspective to law application. We’ll talk about about human rights, and specifically about sport and human rights. Enjoy the episode!

Fabio Palma and I studied together at University La Sapienza in Rome. Fabio gave me the chance to nostalgically dive into the past : you’ll hear about our studies in communication sciences, our first experience with internet and emails, the Erasmus exchange program and what networking meant back in the 90’s.

Fabio’s academic background has helped him forge his professional skills in leadership, capacity building, networking, building partnerships and scouting talent.

He has worked at IED  (Istituto Europeo di Design) and is now at the Carrot Collective.
