Thanks so much for taking time to film and upload this video. I am terrible at doing an interview, I have the experience and skills, but I miss a job interview because I do not know how to give the right answer.

Thank you very much your advice is great Richard.I have interview for MA social worker enrollment, please if you have any recommendations I need your help, thank you again.
Thank you for tips. The answers are good, just a little bit long.... There is a doubt, that this information is a very useful for me. I am always stressed at the job interviews. That is why I work at my current workplace (Nursing Home) for 7 years. But I recently completed Master of Social Work and looking for a job. There are many obstacles on my way: age, non-English speaking background, stress at the interviews, no experience in the social work (apart of two placements of 1000 hours)....I am now applying for the jobs. I have been called for an interview. Not sure if I passed it or not...I did not expect to have a written and personality tests followed by the online interview... I think, my written and personality tests went Ok. But the online interview.... I was ready to answer the questions that you covered in this video but.... these questions were different..... There were only five situational questions at the interview (nothing like "why do you like to work for us,... what do you know about us, ...your strengths and weaknesses,.... what your friends will tell about you, etc....). The hardest question among five questions was " ...tell me about a challenging situation and a tough decision you took..." I did not know what to answer....I told something about an everyday life in the Nursing Home, that some people are cranky, can shut and scream, other people are quite and do not want to hear it but there is not another recreation room to divide them....They all have rights to be there, to get the same service and treatment. We (workers) are like between two fires.....But sometimes you have to take a decision and remove the one who is the most loud (and take him\her to the sister station) for sake of others. .. I am not sure if my "story" was understood at the interview by the panel. Because someone has to work in a Nursing Home to know their specifics. It would be good if you could make a video covering a job interview for graduates. And situational questions as well. Thank you in advance!
Hi! Sounds like you did your best - good luck :D Let me know the outcome! I do have a graduate job video here...
th-cam.com/video/eBU6rHgkxxs/w-d-xo.html
@@CareerVidz Thank you, Richard. The outcome is not a good one. No success.... Your video 'TOP 5 Competency Based Interview Questions!' is a very useful. Thanks a lot!
Imho, your response about the shouting client was excellent, especially if you had already failed to calm him using some decompression and distraction strategies (i.e., activities he enjoys, reading, etc).
Also when you said you only had 1000 hour placements, you should be celebrating that not diminishing it. Referring to those as placements not as merely 'just 1000 hour placements' sets the right confident tone. Employers like to see positive and upbeat people for interview, even if these candidates have doubts inside (don't we all). Show your 'best self' when interviewing, since your experiences prove you deserve to be working in an environment you dream of.
Sir, I did Masters in community development in social work field..
Is there any possibility to get job in USA or other countries in social work filed
Very helpful
Glad you think so!

Hello! Thanks very much for your meaningful video. I have a small question about interview, could you please share me your opinion? That is, should I mention my past mental health problems in university's social work interview? I feel that having this experience will give me a better understanding of other clients with mental health, but I am equally concerned that it will affect the university's view of me.
This is really up to you :) When's your interview? :)
@@CareerVidz Today😄Thanks, I am actively preparing for the interview.

Hi I recently had an interview and they asked me “can you describe a time where you had a crisis intervention situation and how did you handle it”
Can you tell me an effective answer to give moving forward so that I can get of gist of how to answer those kind of questions, please? I would really appreciate it
Thanks for your comment! How did you answer in the interview? :)
@@CareerVidz Hello. I used an example of a time where a client wanted to relapse and leave the program against medical advice. I used motivational interviewing probing and asking questions to get him to realize how leaving the program could affect him and he realized it was not a cycle he wanted to repeat so he stayed in the program. Was that a good crisis intervention example ?
Hi Richard, can these interview questions and answers be applied to a Social Care Worker role?
Yes they will certainly help! I also recommend watching this: th-cam.com/video/hbIfU7CB3JM/w-d-xo.html When's your interview? :)

❤
I hope it helps! When's your interview?
Some good answers here but highlighting that you don't do the work for money is irrational in a job interview. This is a reason social worker salaries continue to remain lower. People literally keep sending the message that they will work for far less. Otherwise good.
Thanks for your input 👍

Are social workers allowed to befriend their clients? I know of a social worker who befriended three of her clients, they live at her house, they spend almost all their free time together, go on holidays together... In my country she could be fired for all of this.
No, as far as I am aware they are not permitted to befriend clients.
