Graduate School Social Work Interview Advice?

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.

Pursuing a social science major can provide teachers with a well-rounded background that informs teaching practice from variety of perspectives including sociology and psychology. Teaching generally requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and that the teaching candidate pass a certification exam or series of exams required by their state’s board of education.
