In-class writing 2/14/2011

Write about the worst job or work experience you've had to deal with. What made it so bad? Was it the people you worked with, the job itself, or the events you were dealing with outside of work that made this the worst job ever? You could write about having to work a traditional nine to five job, or something less conventional like having to help a relative/friend move or doing yard work for an elderly neighbor. Here are some suggestions/questions to consider when drafting:

  • Describe the people you worked with
  • Describe your role/responsibilities
  • Was it a single even that stuck out to you, or was it a series of events?
  • What was going on in your life outside of work at this time that may have impacted the situation?
  • How did this job/experience change/affect you?
If you can't think of a negative work experience that had some sort of impact on your life, consider writing about a school assignment where something went wrong.
