Question by bumble bee girl: Graduate School Social Work Interview Advice?
I’m going on a few interviews for graduate school MSW programs and I was wondering if anyone who is now in school for social work has any good interview advice or tips. Any ideas about questions they’ll be asking? Things I should make sure NOT to do? Things like that…
Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Stacy The number one concern with Social Work is that you’ll burn out right away. So, when you go to your interview, they’ll look for signs that you may burn out quickly or last a long time. The NUMBER ONE MISTAKE people make in this field is that they want to “fix” people or “save the world.” Well, you can’t do that. It’s impossible. So, they’ll probably be less likely to accept you if you say something like this or seem too squimish and nervous at the interview.
What they look for in a good Social Worker:
-Direct and helpful
-Compassionate, but understand that you can’t care TOO much
-Deal with stress well
-Work well with others! (This is HUGE)
-Have good problem solving skills
Good luck and I hope you do well! 🙂
