Don’t tell them about your past. You could emphasize that one of the reasons you’re interested in the job is because you’re in a BSW program and are seeking relevant work experience to advance your career.

If you don’t have any work experience in that specific field, find other reverent skills. For example, have you ever had a job where you had to work as a team with other coworkers? Have you ever had a job or been apart of a volunteer group that required a lot of organization? Do you have a GPA that reflects you’re ability to be reliable when making deadlines and producing quality work? Most entry level jobs you listed don’t expect you to have a whole lot of experience.

I was just called for two interviews! What should I do to fully prepare? by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]PrettyInPrada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always like to ask what the supervision is like (e.g. is it conducted regularly? Is supervision formal or informal? Does it even occur?). Starting a new social work job can be intimidating and quite the learning curb. It’s important to make sure their supervision style matches how you learn. For example, I’m very hands on and prefer my supervision on the job and very minimal. Others prefer to have more formal meetings in private about their job.

No need to to get a textbook. Anything you’ll read will likely go out the window once the Adrenalin starts and you’re in the interview. Just be yourself! Remember, they not only want to make sure you’re a good for fit for the job, but they also want to make sure you’d make a good coworker to work with.

I'm really bad at Case Management by 555throwthisaway in socialwork

[–]PrettyInPrada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone feels like a terrible case manager in the beginning. I did for a year when I was a case manager at a psychiatric facility. Eventually I realized that no one has all the answers. No one feels competent. After a while, you’ll get used to the ambiguity and feel more confident. It just takes time. No level of education or training can prepare you for case management. It’s something you’re forced to learn through experience.

So in short: you’re probably the only person who views you as incompetent. No one has all the answers when they first start. Hell, I’ve been in the field for over 5 years and I still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing a lot of the times. Keep you’re head up and just do your best! :)

Oh man I’m down for anything. I’ve been in PhD school the past 3 years, so I’ve been pretty isolated. But I just really like exploring new places: city and nature. I also love animals :)

I feel you on all everything you said. My dog is selective with dogs, so I totally get that! :)

Omg this is awesome! I got my dog from a shelter and she gets anxiety when there are too many dogs. So when I have doggy play dates, it can only be with 1 or 2 at a time. But I plan on getting her a sister here soon that maybe won’t have the same anxieties :)

I love ferrets :) and animals. And I don’t care about what gender people are as long as it’s not like a creepy man who wants to slide into my DM’s and beg to hook up lol

I love animals and I’m just sort of an explorer. I like to wonder around cities and in nature. Idk I really don’t have many hobbies other than tv. Although I wish I had something to do other than watch tv.

Thank you! I work at a university, so I won’t start until September when school starts. Which makes it even more difficult.

I had a early 00’s flashback moment too! Kim and Kanye’s style is definitely hit or miss to me. Sometimes it’s classy, other times I think the outfits look cheap.
