My work experience

This course on Work and Employment offers you ideas and concepts with which you can reflect on your own work experience, analyse contemporary work societies and the organisations we work in. Thus, it is important to be able to connect the ideas we discuss to your own work experience.

In this first assignment we ask you, therefore, to write 600 words on any kind of work experience that you have had in your life so far. It is a first exercise with which we learn to reflect on work and employment and our own experiences are always a good and important starting point for Sociologists.

If you do not have any work experience yet, you can write about what kind of job you imagine in the future or what you would like to do for work after university.

The main point is that you REFLECT and do not just list jobs that you have done. What reflect means is you think about what you liked / disliked in particular work situation and why using - if possible - concepts from the course.
