Jihad Istanbouli

Stand-up Comedian

“My Job is cool: laughing and making people laugh. Nothing is better.“ Jihad Istanbouli works as a Stand-up Comedian. On stage, nothing and nobody is helping him, it’s just him, his character and his audience. So, the hardest part of his job is to write a good script and for that, he has to be free in his thinking and acting. “It’s not easy to leave your country and your kids.“

Umar Abud

Bar Chef

“It helped me to forget many bad things in my life and you can party every day.“While studying, Umar Abud was working as a Bar Chef. Now he is planing to study law. In Lebanon it was forbidden for him to do so, because he is Palestinian. What would be his advice to his 14-year-old self. “I would tell myself: If you believe in something, you have to do it, no matter what the circumstances are.“

George Basmaji

Apotheker

“Ich finde, das Coolste an meinem Job ist der Kontakt mit den Menschen und, dass ich ihnen helfen und sie beraten kann.“ Das mag George Basmaji, Apotheker, bei Die MALTESER Österreich, an seinem Job besonders gerne. Schwierig dabei ist seine Verantwortung, weil er nicht irgendeine Ware verkauft, sondern Medikamente, und damit die letzte qualifizierte Instanz ist, die auf Fehler bei Verschreibungen hinweisen kann. Wichtig für seine Position? “Man braucht das Pharmaziestudium.“

Sayyed Javid Hakim

Kung Fu Artist

“You have to watch a lot of movies like Martial Arts, but it’s better if you do not copy the choreography from someone else.” Sayyed Javid Hakim works as a Kung Fu Artist, has his own style and mostly creates his choreographies himself. The coolest thing in his job is watching the video when it’s done: “It’s a nice moment. You made a choreography and after you did it, you can watch what you did. That’s the most beautiful thing for me.”
