This case study is to apply career theory with these two descriptions of interviewees above.
This assignment does not require exact interview script. You can add some more stories(or descriptions) about interviewees, if you’d like. Or you could change one of interviewees to whomever you like (you do not need to interview someone,
just someone you know or make as you write which ever that is easier to apply theories and compare with another interviewees, could use someone similar to ‘Kaye’-I will upload case study example of my friends). However, please bare in mind that theories need to be applies to descriptions strictly. It is to see and analyse the career differences with two interviewees.
Details of task:
**Write a detailed ‘case study’ which analyses and compares the career influences, career decision making processes and career development of a recent graduate and an older person. In order to do this you will find and interview a recent graduate (usually someone under 25) and an older person
(someone more advanced in their career, most likely someone at least over 40 or a person of your parents’ or grandparents’ generation) to understand their experience of work. Your analysis should draw on relevant career theories (discussed in seminars and practicals) and you should also consider the different sociological and historical contexts of their careers.**
World limit: 2000 WORDS
Please read UNIT GUIDE. So you have clear idea of case study.
I have attached previous works from my friend who took this unit last year. I think it would be useful for you to draw some point and theory from this example as all four interviewees share extreme similarities. However, this is for 3rd year level unit.
Before or after case study is done, please write maximum250 words of ‘case study plan’ including the followings:
-names
-basic career summary : Indicate why you have selected these interviewees.
Of two interviewees(one should be a recent graduate, the other an older person, more advanced in their career).
-Also include question intend to discuss (can be made by writer as you write case-study)
-theory which you think will be useful in analysing your interviewees responses.
