django.db.models.Model could not access property

First I created a class of Employee, but when I access its property by class name, such as Employee.user_name, it raised an error, I do not know why:

from django.db import models
import uuid

class Employee(models.Model):

    employee_id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)    
    user_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    pwd = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email = models.EmailField()
    entry_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user_name

the error is below:
>>> Employee.user_name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Employee' has no attribute 'user_name'
>>>

Your class holds many items within it. You need to tell the model which instance you are wanting by calling it by "pk" or other unique field. 

user = Employee.objects.get(pk=id)
user.user_name
