Task:1B
After reading Sebastian Knowles CV, mine first thoughts was, what a wonderful
boy. He was blessed with a charming personality (he’s own word), and he also
done it extremely well at school. He seems to have many friends and growing up
in a wonderful home, with wonderful parents. He also got two years at college,
where he studding Food and Nutritional Services. Some work experience he also
got, but not much. Mine first toughs after reading was, they mustn’t let this
opportunity to get a young and gifted boy go away. I think he was qualified.
After more thinking I get in doubt. I do think he was qualified, but there were
something wrong. I think it’s good to think well about our self, but it was too much.
Some people are not honest with themselves; I think he is one of them. I get more
and more in doubt, if he was the right person for this type of job?
After reading Sebastian’s face book update, I am no more in doubt. When he
writes about the boy and the old man he met on the buss, I get real shocked. He
doesn’t really seem to care about people. What he writes in he’s CV, don’t matter
in the real live. No I am not in doubt; he doesn’t fits in this type of job. In this type
of job, you really have to care about other people, and not always think about
yourself first. He is divinity not suitable for this type of job.
Task: 2A
Generation gap
In this text I want to tell you about mine job. I have worked as a carpenter for 18
years. I will try to tell you a bit about how employee’s tasks and working
environment have developed in recent year. In these changes are there positive
and negative things, which I will try to show you. I will also try to tell you what
firms have to do to keep good employees. At last I will say something about how
you can changes your workplace.
All sense I was a child I was interested to work as a carpenter. The best thing to
working as a carpenter is for me, that I created something. As carpenter you get
possibility to be at one workplace from the building started, till it finished. When you
4 av 29
worked as a carpenter, you will get a lot of possibility responsibilities, if you want
to.
In many cases, at work as a carpenter you are your one chef. Working outside in
fresh air it’s for me freedom.
When I started working as carpenter for 18 years ago, there only was one boss at
the working place. Today is there bigger possibility to discuss a case with the
boss, something I think it’s great. There were only men who working as carpenter
when I started. In the last few years there are more women on the working place,
its do something with the working environment, which I think are positive. Younger
people at working place are often very kindly. But it is difficult for me to teach them
something; it seems to me that they don’t like to be showed anything. They
furtherer will learn me something. They often using their phone in their working
time and they are often too late at work. I think we must tough with younger people
and see what we can do with it. They are often very kindly, but it’s something with
respect for the boss, they have to learn.
The firm has big responsibility to keep good employees. Something they can do is
to arranger something on their free time. They can also send their leaders at
course, where they can learn how to be a boss in 2014. I think we have to do
something with the generation gap. Younger people have a lot to learn older
people, and older people have a lot to learn to younger. We must not counteract if
we will have a good working environment.
People, who will tough about difficult things as the generation gap, can influence
their work place. I think those people can make a big extent at their working place.

Innhold
1A. Oppgavesvaret har et relevant innhold med gode eksempler og
selvstendig drøfting og diskusjon. Alle de oppgitte kildene er brukt. Svaret
skiller ikke eksplisitt mellom ”qualified” og ”suitable” som oppgaven ber
om. Det er også et par påstander som det ikke er dekning for i kildene, slik
som at Knowles er en aggressiv person.
2B. (Oppgitt som 2) Oppgavesvaret er relevant og viser stort sett forståelse
for oppgavens krav til omfang og kilder. ”Millenials” er ikke referert til
direkte, men ser ut til å ha påvirket svaret indirekte. Svaret gjør mest rede
for en ingeniørs arbeid og gir innsiktsfulle beskrivelser og eksempler, men
drøfter ikke endringene og konsekvensene i like stor grad.
Tekststruktur
1A. Oppgavesvaret er stort sett tilpasset formål og situasjon, og har en stort
sett logisk og klar struktur, men mangler tekstbinding.
2B. Oppgavesvaret er informerende og dermed noe tilpasset formålet, men
det er ikke like godt tilpasset den oppgitte situasjonen og målgruppen.
Svaret har en stort sett logisk struktur, men mangler tekstbinding.

Hovedinntrykket av eksamenssvaret er at innholdet er relevant, dekkende
og ryddig. Samtidig gjør språkbruken fremstillingen uklar, både
innholdsmessig og strukturelt. Eksamenssvaret gir inntrykk av ”nokså god”
kompetanse og er samlet vurdert til karakter 3.

English examination
Task 1
A1
Sebastian Knowles is interested to the job and applied for the job as Food and
Nutrition Associate. As we can se from his CV, he is educated from Essex Vocational
College in Colchester. He has studied Food and Nutritional Services. He has a work
experience as Assistant at Blessfields Care Home, but he worked there just for 7
months. He has also worked as Assistant for Koplan Catering Services in Brighton;
they work with Food preparation and delivery. Sebastian has an experience with Food
preparation and caring people, but he has just worked with those two things just for 2
or 7 months. He has not so much experience. On his excerpt he his describing him self
with a charming personality. He wants to work at the hospital because it will be a great
opportunity for him to help those who need help. He is also saying that he can tackle
stress and is motivated to work hard.
Sebastian wrote a status on his Facebook page that he sent an application for a job as
Food and Nutrition Associate. He is quite the apposite of what he wrote on his excerpt
then he is in his real life. He wrote this surprising sentence; “it just means I`ll be
force-feeding the oldies”, that is not what he said on his excerpt. He said he would his
motivated to work with elderly people, but that one sentence disclosed him.
He wrote that the last job interview he went to, do not gave him any job. He did not
blamed on him self; he blamed people who took the bus with him. A young guy who
used crutches wanted Sebastian’s seat, and he refused to give him his seat to the poor
guy with crutches. Sebastian blamed an old man too because he just wanted to know
where Denton Street is. Sebastian’s explanation about why he did not have the job is
because he came 5 min late for the job interview. Actually it maybe was because he
was not qualified for the job.
8 av 29
He is not the person he is on his excerpt. He has been doing demonstrations and has
been arrested once by the police. The police recognized him by his facial tattoo and
piercings. I do not think that the elderly people would like to be feed by this kind of
person who is an aggressive demonstrator and maybe have a good behavior at work
but not out of job. So he is not qualified for this job because he tells about him in an
apposite version of him, he has not so good experience to work with elder people and
he is ignorant about his mistakes. He is not qualified for this job.
Task 2
Benefits and costs of changes in modern working life
The job I am interested in is something to do with engineering. There are many
types of engineers, petroleum engineer, computer engineer, mechanical
engineers, biological engineers and etc. I have not decided yet what kind of
engineer I want to be, but it will be petroleum or mechanical engineer.
To be an engineer it requires that you are focused all the time and think of
different type of solutions when you are working with your tasks, for example if
you are a petroleum engineer, so some of your task would be to find a solution to
find oil or how to export oil and gas to other countries. It is a very interesting and
fascinating job for those who love to work with machines, people, and
technology.
The employees’ tasks and working environment have changed a lot. The new
generations who will take over job as petroleum engineers will have flexible work
hours or days. If you work at an oil platform for example in Norway, you have 2
weeks of work and 4 weeks of vacation. This is a good deal for those who want to
work at platform. The environments were the petroleum engineers are working
at is tough. At the oil platform they have an alarm check and they do not conform
the engineers that it would be a test, and you will have big problems if you are in
toilet when the alarm test starts.
9 av 29
The Task is very hard for the employees` because sometimes there is storm out there
were the oil platform is and you have to go out and do your work. Not everybody can
work at the office so someone has to do it. You can easily be injured during your tasks
if you are not careful enough. Those who work at office and are petroleum engineers
have more psychological tasks then engineers at oil platform. Petroleum engineers
who works at office have tasks like designing new machines, come up with a plan how
to find oil in different types of areas where it could be oil or not. Those kinds of
engineers do not have flexible workdays or hours, but they are not in danger to be
injured.
The engineers have started to earn much more money then they did for 20 years ago. It
is because we need more and more engineers. If you work at oil platform one week
extra, you will earn double so much money on that extra week. That is a factor that some
of new generation want to be petroleum engineers.
There are not just petroleum engineer who are earning lot of money, mechanical
engineers have good workplace and equal salary as petroleum engineers. They are just
working with all kinds of technologies and trying to make them more useful. It is little
difficult to work as mechanical engineer because they have a lot of pressure at work.
Their tasks require that they have to think of something new or new solutions for a
product they have created. The new generation love technology and that’s why some
students become mechanical engineers, and cause of the salary.
The engineers today and future engineers cannot influence so much in their
workplace. They know already how tough it is to be an engineer and what kind of
tasks do they have. They have good salary; flexible workdays and they are becoming
part of something that is changing the world. There are more Asian people who are
becoming engineers today and that is great because most of those Asians have
multicultural background.

karakter
Eksamenssvaret har godt innhold og god struktur som gjør at det samlet
grenser opp mot ”mykje god” kompetanse. Variasjonen i språkbruk og flyt
hindrer iblant kommunikasjonen. Eksamenssvaret viser ”god” kompetanse
og er samlet vurdert til karakter 4.
12 av 29
1A
According to Sebastian Knowles’ CV he is qualified to work at the Riverview Hospital for the
Elderly. He was educated at Essex Vocational College, Colchester for two years, which goes
well with the education the employer wants. As well he has work experience from among
others kitchen work and personal companionship, and that is something the employers are
looking for.
In spite of this his respect and sight of the elderly are not what they are looking for. In his
personal profile he writes that he did well at school, have a charming personality and think his
job as an assistant in a local care home has taught him how to behave around elderly. What he
writes on Facebook indicates to something else. He writes that he wouldn’t give his seat on
the bus to a guy with crutches and he thinks old people shouldn’t be allowed to go out on their
own. From this we understand that he has no respect for other people and especially not the
elderly. The Facebook status shows us the real Sebastian Knowles. Besides this he still lives
with his parents and got arrested after a demonstration. The demonstration was neither his
first.
To sum up he is qualified to the job at the hospital but his attitude to old people and generally
what he does, show us that he are not suitable for the job. The employer should not give him
the job, even though his education suits, because the old people need to be treated with
respect, something I think we all assume Knowles won’t do.

Words are the best weapon
All over the world we have different controversial decisions and issues. Some of them are big
and some are just a trifle. One thing they have in common is that we can all try to influence
them by using our heads.
A demonstration found place 28th August in Balcombe, West Sussex. The reason of the
demonstration is due to fracking. The Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a process where gas
from rocks underground is being extracted. Because local activists are worried that this
process can cause small earthquakes and pollute water supplies, they wanted to stop further
drilling for oil by blockade the site near Balcombe. Several hundred protesters took part in the
demonstration, and the police had to come. They started to push the protestors towards a small
section of the road. Then several demonstrators left, but the remaining were forced to stay and
twenty six people were arrested. The protestors meant they had behaved themselves, but the
police said they became very aggressive when they were told to leave the site. The Chief
Constable later said on TV that almost every demonstrator behaved well, but there is always
someone that just appears to make trouble.
The English speaking country Nigeria has been through some issues up against the years.
From 1967 to 1970 they went through a civil war and there have been a lot of conflicts
between ethnic and religious groups. The country has been ruled by military juntas for long
periods of time, and oil reserves have made problems for the indigenous people. In Niger
Delta region, there have been tensions between local indigenous people and foreign oil
companies. The indigenous people mean that they are being leaved in poverty, because oil has
been found in their land, and they claim that the oil installations have caused pollution and
destroyed parts of the environment. This has led to among others terrorist attacks on the oil
installations. The Nigerian military has been forced to step in, but that only made it worse.
There are many different ways of influencing decisions. One thing that is very important if
you want to influence a controversial decision is to get attention. You need to be heard, and
the best way of doing that is to use internet. Write what you think is the best to do, and turn
people to your team and what you think is the best. Media has a lot of power, and to get
positive attention in media can help you a lot. Another way of influencing decisions is to
14 av 29
demonstrate like the people in Balcombe. But even dough you demonstrate you don’t need to
be violent, that doesn’t solve anything. A demonstration with just posters and calls can affect.
To have good arguments is important if you want to influence decisions. You can come up
with solutions of why it should be like that or why it shouldn’t. An argument can also be a
solution you think will be good for the case. If you are a good speaker and know what you
stand up for, you can involve yourself in the politics. You can be member of a political party
or even be a politician yourself. An example of a person who used her voice is Malala. She
spoke out against the barbarism in Pakistan and has made a huge impact on the whole world.
She stood up for what she meant, and even after she got shot she didn’t gave up. She is such
a good example because of her peaceful protest.
If I would have influence a decision, I would find good arguments and make people
understand that this is the best solution. To say your own opinion is something everyone
should be allowed to do, and I could have sacrificed a bit of my life to jail to say what I
mean is right in a decision. In the Balcombe case I would be willing to be arrested if the
demonstration could influence the fracking. But I wouldn’t have been violent. In the Nigeria
case I think I would have been more careful, but I would have tried to stand up for the
indigenous people, because they need their land. I know it is difficult to just talk in a country
like Nigeria because they are being treated unfair, but if many people got together and talked
instead of using terrorists, I think it could have made a difference. In both these cases they
used violence but it would have been much better if they used their heads.
If you mean something is important you should take to courage and do something about it.
Today we have many controversial decisions and in conclusion I would say that if you want
to influence one you should use your head, not violence. The solution is never to hurt
someone. You have many ways to influence decisions, and all the good ones involve using
words.

1A
Sebastian Knowles applied for a job at the Riverview Hospital for the Elderly. The
advertisement stated that applicants should have a background in the health care sector and
at least a two year vocational college course in nutrition and hygiene. Sebastian Knowles
happens to have both, but that’s not enough to make him a suited applicant. On his
Facebook page, a staff member found an update which showed the real Sebastian. In the
update Sebastian says that he will be “force feeding oldies” if he gets the job. Later in the
update is a story about a bus ride. First Sebastian occupied a reserved seat. Soon, a boy with
crutches asks Sebastian if he could have his seat. Sebastian then refused to move, even
though there were several other seats which he could use. Later an old man asked which
stop was the nearest to Denton Street and it takes a few minutes before the bus starts
driving again. Because of these events he was late for a job interview, thus losing the job. In
his Facebook update Sebastian blamed the old man and the young boy with crutches for
losing the job, even though both events could have been avoided if Sebastian had just
helped them at once.
The job advertisement asked for applicants who could prepare and serve food to patients,
and maintain order and hygiene in the kitchen. In the comment section of Sebastian’s
Facebook update, his own mother writes that Sebastian hasn’t mastered cooking and
cleaning at home.
On paper Sebastian seems like a good applicant with both the education and experience
needed, while in reality he’s not because of his bad attitude.

Before and After
In a moment, a person’s life can change from a before to an after. It can be a phone call, an
accident, an action or a decision. Everyone has a point of no return. Some have several.
Some decisions affect one person and one person only. Other decisions affect a group of
people or the entire society.
Before Junior threw that calculus book he was just another student. After he threw it, he
was the kid who broke a teacher’s nose. He will never be just another kid again. He can’t
return to the before part and not throw that book. Junior decided to throw it, and moved
forward to the after part. The other characters however, they stay behind. They’re still in the
before. It was not their decision, it is not their progression and it doesn’t affect them.
They’ve given up, and won’t move to the after part unless someone decides for them. Junior
made his own decisions, but he’s not the only one who has done that.
We’ve worked with several fictional characters who’ve struggled to make decisions. Harry
Potter for instance, he makes several huge decisions that affect everyone in the world he
lives in, but he doesn’t struggle to make them. He does what’s right and fights for the good
side. Harry Potter’s decisions and Junior’s decision can’t really be compared, because they’re
not of the same type. One lives in a fantasy world, the other in a world like ours.
A fictional character we’ve worked with that does her own decisions, is Nazneen from the
novel “Brick Lane” by Monica Ali. There is also a film based on the novel. Nazneen is
Bangladeshi, but lives in England. She lives in a flat on Brick Lane, a street largely populated
by immigrants from Bangladesh. Since birth, Nazneen’s mother told her that you can’t
oppose fate. She was taught she wasn’t the master of her own life. She was taught to give
up, just like the Indians on the Spokane reservation where Junior lives.
This is exactly what Nazneen does. She listens to what her mother taught her for the first 32
years of her life. When she is 18, she marries an educated man that is old enough to be her
father. Another 16 years pass before Nazneen goes against her mother’s teachings. After 16
years, she gets the courage to decide. She decides to control what is going on in her life. It
19 av 29
was expected that she would stay home with the kids, clean and cook food. The first things
she controls is the small things, such as talking to new people, getting to know the
neighbours and getting her first job. Even if the job is just sewing jeans at home, it’s still a
job and that’s not normal for her. She was expected to raise children and support her
husband, not help provide for her family.
Junior and Nazneen don’t have very much in common. One is a thirteen year old Indian boy
in America and the other is a grown up woman from Bangladesh. What they do however
does have something in common. They both do unexpected things. Junior throws a book at a
teacher and ends up becoming the only nomad in the reservation. He begins in a school in
another town, and wants to travel the world. He wants to leave the reservation and his family
behind. Junior can only hope that they will forgive him, and that he can forgive himself.
Life is a journey. It’s like walking down a road. After some time you’ll get to crossroads. Each
crossroad is a decision. Decisions are divided into before and after. Before is when you think
about which road to take, after is when you take it. There’s no going back. You might go back
to the same crossroad, but it’s still a new decision to make. The road that is the most taken is
the path you’re expected to take. Junior and Nazneen took the path least travelled by, and
that made all the difference.

Task 1
1A
Based on the information given in both the Appendices and Texts it’s quite easy to determine
whether or not Sebastian Knowles is qualified and suitable for the job he is applying for. On one
hand he does seem to have the required qualifications and background specified in the job
description, but then on the other hand he seems to completely lack all of the personal
characteristics for which the employer is looking for in the applicant.
First off we can learn from the article in Text 1 that Mr Knowles was recently arrested. The article
does not specify what year the protest took place, but I will assume that it was quite recently. Even
though the arrest of a man does not prove him guilty, it can give employers an indication of what
type of person they are dealing with. The article also stated that the police were able to identify Mr
Knowles based on his distinctive looks, which they had observed during a previous demonstration.
Therefore someone can only assume that this person is a man who has had trouble with law
enforcement earlier. The job description doesn’t specify that the applicant needs a spotless record,
but then again we can only assume that they would prefer someone who stays out of trouble if
they are to look out for the elderly.
If you were to compare the Mr Knowles’ CV and personal profile with his Facebook update, it’s
ever so clear to see that this man is not at all suited for the job. In Appendix 1 he describes himself
as a man with a charming personality, a team player and someone who tackles stress well. The
Facebook update in Appendix 2 gives us a picture of a completely different person. Mr Knowles
comes off as rude, inconsiderate and someone who lacks empathy and compassion for those less
fortunate than himself. Berating a disabled man for wanting the priority seat, referring to an
elderly person as an “old bat” and questioning why she is allowed to leave the house on her own
seems like a man not suited for a job in the care sector. Even on the comment section of his
Facebook update his aunt Daisy asks him to mid his attitude. If your own family doesn’t believe
you have the correct attitude, why should the people you are looking to work for think any
differently?
So even though it seems like Sebastian Knowles does indeed have the formal education and
background required for this job, it is quite clear that he completely lacks the personal traits
23 av 29
necessary to care for the elderly. He seems ignorant, rude and impatient and I would never
recommend him for a position where his main priority is to take care off other people. And I doubt
the administrative staff thinks any differently after seeing his Facebook update. The man clearly
needs to clean up his act and stay away from trouble if he wants to progress in life.

Task 2
2B
Career day speech for the tenth grade at Norway High School
Dear students of Norway High School,
I stand before you today to tell you about an exiting opportunity for your future career. I was
asked by the principal of your school to do a talk to all you tenth graders here at Norway High
School on career day. If you don’t already know, my name is Steve and I work as an IT-consultant
for a large computer firm in the UK. I was so fortunate to be asked to come here today, seen as I
am in Norway for only a couple of days on business. So what I am going to talk to you about
today is basically what my job consist off, the endless opportunities you have if you choose a
career in the IT-industry, the work environment and also some of the challenges that lies ahead. I
will keep this short and informative, so I hope I can have your attention for the duration of this
presentation.
First off. Some of you might think that what we do in the IT-world is nothing else than sit on our
behinds all day and write away on the computer. Although that might have been the case some 15
odd years ago, it could not be more wrong today. The industry is changing, and it is changing fast!
To use myself as an example of how different my tasks are today than what they were when I
graduated from University. Around ten years ago I had just graduated with a bachelor degree in
Information Technology. And to be honest, the first couple of years as a working man were quite
boring and I felt I had just landed a dead end job at a company that was heading nowhere. Then
suddenly it all changed. Facebook came out and was an instant hit among young people. The
smartphones with all their apps were also enormously popular from day one. I believe that these
two technologies changed nearly everything within the IT-industry. Suddenly we started working
at a faster pace. In a matter of months we had to release new software and technology just to make
sure we weren’t falling behind our competitors. In the first few years of this new development I
thought we were never going to keep up with all the new trends. But lo and behold, we made it
through and it has really paid off in the latter years.
25 av 29
The main reason in why I believe we became really successful after those years is the
mixture of the people in our workforce. Even though many of the IT-companies today
primarily consist of younger people, our boss made sure we keep on a few elder people
and utilize them the best way possible. We used them for all their experience with
business. What many fail to realise is that in the IT-world you need a good business
strategy to stay alive. You can’t solely rely on the knowledge of the young people; you
need a mixture between the fresh brains of the new generation and the vast experience of
the older generation. Even though a whole lot has changed in the working environment
since the “millennials” started coming through, it doesn’t really seem to bother the older
people at our company. Changes like flexible working hours and the introduction of new
technology seemed to go down well with almost everyone.
I’d like to explain just how these changes affect our day-to-day business and why I believe it
is the way to move forward for most companies. Some people might believe that flexible
working hours seems a little silly. You might think to yourself that a company surely runs
the most efficient when every employee comes in at the same time and do the same amount
of hours in a day. But since personal computers, primarily laptops, became something nearly
everyone owned, it suddenly wasn’t always necessary to do all your work in the office. For
instance in my job, a lot of time goes to developing applications for smartphones and
computers. I can just as easily do this from the comfort of my own home as I can at my desk
in the office. Everything doesn’t have to be measured in hours. Is it fair if a slacker works
the same amount of hours as a hard worker and then gets the same amount of money and
recognition at the end of the month? Your work results should be measured in what you
achieve not in how long you were working that particular day or month. Don’t get me
wrong; I do see the importance of working together as a group and seeing other people than
your family from time to time. But I do also believe that companies should implement the
idea that working hours should not be the first priority, but rather focus on what the
employee achieves as a result of his or hers work. I might be boring you with all this talk
about how I believe a company should operate, but I think it’s important for young people to
understand that the modern workplace is something that is changing quickly. And the better
prepared you are for these changes, the better you will function in a modern office.
26 av 29
Let me describe more in detail of what the company I work for does on a day-to-day basis.
When I first started there ten years ago we only made financial applications for lager
companies. Although the business was going rather well, the work was quite boring and
unfulfilling for a young guy straight out of University. When Facebook and smartphones
started to gain popularity, our boss and the senior heads at the company eyed an opportunity
to expand in to new territory. Basically what we do today is help larger companies with social
media and application development. A company might come to us and tell us they want to
develop an application for smartphones and create a new Facebook page. And then we do the
rest from there. What makes this line of work so exiting and special is the constant variation
of projects. Just four months ago I was on a project to develop a brand new Facebook page
for one of England’s biggest football teams and now I am here in Norway to finalize a deal to
develop an app for a big airline company. Some people might like the stability of a normal
job where all you do is come in the morning, do the same job as every day and then leave in
the evening. I consider myself completely opposite of that. I strive under the constant
introduction of new challenges. I welcome the change that our modern world brings. I love to
implement new ideas and technology with the business world.
Naturally this line of work isn’t for everyone. And you need to be able to keep up with the
pace if you want to keep your job or move on upwards. Seen as we work with other larger
companies, we are 100% reliant on our good reputation. Just one dissatisfied costumer can
undo years of hard work. Who would hire a company with a reputation for making bad apps
and Facebook pages, when that is nearly the only thing they do? Therefore we do enforce
strict demands for our employees and applicants. You have to have something to show for
before you can start working here. An education by itself is seldom enough. And once you
start working, your future depends on the feedback we get from our clients. We do this not
only to attract the best, but also to keep the best. Do your job to a satisfactory level, and you
will be fine. Slack off and you will be shown the door. You might think that sounds unfair,
but it’s the reality of the new and fast paced work environment that is developing in the
Western world.
I have now talked a long time about all the positive sides of my line of work, even glorified it
27 av 29
to some extent. But be aware that with all this change there are still big challenges and risks
ahead. In such a young environment it’s difficult to fully comprehend the long-term effects of
these changes. Right now it might seem like a match made in heaven. Young people being
able to work with what they really enjoy. No more sitting eight hours every day in a confined
space, just to go home and do the exact same thing the day after. The people born before this
generations, before the “millennials”, often have trouble adapting to this new environment. I
told you how our company managed to keep their senior employees and utilize their strengths
to strive and prosper in the new technological age. I like to think that we are the exception,
rather than the rule. From what I have learned, ageism in the workplace is becoming a big
problem in society. Older people being squeezed out of their position, due to their inability to
adapt to the changes. Or the company’s inability to come up with new ideas on how to use the
older generation more effectively. You can understand someone’s frustration or anger when a
“kid” fresh out of University comes in and takes the job you have used decades to obtain. I
believe that our biggest challenge for the future consists of finding a way to best implement
the younger generation with older one. To make sure we use each person for their strength
and make sure we utilize them the best way possible. Not to just ship them out if they don’t
meet a certain age criteria. Us younger people have all to learn from the older generation,
seen as their experience in business and the working environment far surpasses most of us.
I hope you all learned something from this short presentation. The modern workplace is truly
a place to get exited about, and I hope you all have the ambition to reach far. Whatever your
aim may be here in life. Be it working in IT or becoming a coalminer. Make sure your
environment becomes a product of you, and not only the other way around. Embrace the
changes happening in society and you will have a memorable working experience. If anybody
wants to contact me I will stay until the end of this career day and answer questions from you
students. Thank you again for having me here today, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
