To change all employees' DOE (Date of Employment) to two days later, you need to use the DATE_ADD function in MySQL. The syntax shown in your second attempt is correct for MySQL.

Step 1: Construct the UPDATE statement.
The UPDATE statement modifies existing records in a table. The SET clause specifies which column to modify and its new value. To add two days to the DOE column, use the DATE_ADD function with INTERVAL 2 DAY.

UPDATE Employee SET DOE = DATE_ADD(DOE, INTERVAL 2 DAY);\text{UPDATE Employee SET DOE = DATE\_ADD(DOE, INTERVAL 2 DAY);}

The complete and correct query is:

UPDATE Employee
SET DOE = DATE_ADD(DOE, INTERVAL 2 DAY);

This query will update the DOE column for all rows in the Employee table, adding two days to each existing DOE value.

The final answer is UPDATE Employee SET DOE = DATE_ADD(DOE, INTERVAL 2 DAY);\boxed{\text{UPDATE Employee SET DOE = DATE\_ADD(DOE, INTERVAL 2 DAY);}}
