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.
On campus tutorials and online discussion forums (external students) are the main space to
discuss your assignments in detail and we are happy to do so in those spaces. That is what they
are there for so please bring your questions and we are happy to discuss and help. Hence,
unless we specifically tell you to do so, DO NOT email us your assignments for feedback.
How to submit the assignments:
All assignments have to be submitted via the turnitin links on iLearn by 11.59pm on the due date.
Your grades will be made available on gradebook on iLearn too, but remain subject to change
until the end of the course and depend on your overall performance in the course.
How to get the most out of SOC295:
It is simple, you get the most out of SOC295 by coming/listening to the lectures, come to the
tutorials or engage in an online discussion on iLearn and by doing the readings per week.
The assessments in SOC295 build on linking these three elements elements of the
course. Following those three steps will enable you to do well in SOC295.
If you experience any problems or have questions please bring them to the tutorials and ask us
there before you individually email us. Often others have the same questions about referencing
or contents related questions. Generally the advice is to ask as early as possible and not avoid
asking. In particular there is little we can do to help you once the due date of assignments has
passed.

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.

To give you an example I have written a "my Work Experience" report myself. Here it is:
Overall I have had 27 years of work experience. The very first paid job was a casual job as a
gardener for a very small company. The task at hand was to fix and repaint a wooden fence.
Because I had to organise the material for the job as well as manage my own time, I enjoyed the
realisation of this little project enormously.
A few years after that I worked night shifts on an assembly-line. It was an exhausting job
because I had no autonomy at all. The machine determined everything from eating breaks to
going to the bathroom. I only lasted six weeks in this job before I quit. The best thing about that
job was that it was paid very well and that I had a boss with whom I got along very well.
Next I worked in a hospital as a nurse's aid, a shift job again. Although I tremendously enjoyed
working with people and being able to help people, it was emotionally very taxing. Pay does not
compensate very well for coping with the emotional needs of a dying person or for seeing people
in excruciating pain without being able to do anything. I decide to leave this job too in order to
work as a construction worker.
Again, this was a very well paid job but after about 5 months I felt that it was physically too
exhausting and lacked intellectual stimulus. That is when I decided to do an apprenticeship as a
business administrator in an office furniture company. Apprenticeship meant that my job changed
every two months in order to learn about every aspect of the business from HR to assembly to
accounting. Three days of the week I was in the company and two days I was at school learning
the theoretical basics about how to run a business.
While I learned the basics about how a business ticks, I also learned a lot about myself. After
finishing the apprenticeship I worked my way up into management over 12 years. During that
time I had already started studying philosophy, sociology and business administration. This
enabled me to to a PhD and become a Senior Lecturer in Sociology, which is my current job.
I think it was the apprenticeship that enabled me to find out what I really wanted to do and what
job satisfaction means for me. It was my favorite job before I became a Sociologist.
When I read through my little report on my work experience I can identify important topics like
autonomy, physical, emotional and intellectual aspects of work. I can see that what is important
to me about my jobs is linked to people, even the wider society. From all those jobs I learned that
it is important to me to work with people, to have a job that is not just about earning money and

that my job gives me a sense of being able to realise myself but also to shape society, the world
we all live in.
