Hey guys, hopefully you'll find the following advice that I give to my students useful:

Here are 21 questions that will get you thinking about your Social Work interview at University.

Get in touch with me if you’d like to look at the perfect answers to these questions, want a more detailed list, are interested in preparing for the whole process (including group interviews, assessments and presentations) or would like to practice your interview technique.

Basic questions
Tell us a bit about yourself?
Why do you want to apply for this course?

What books have you read to prepare you for this course?
Tell us about this University and this course?
What recent news stories are relevant to Social Work?
What are the biggest challenges for Social Workers?
What challenges do you think you’ll face as a Social Work student?

Higher-level questions
Dealing with stress: How do you deal with stress and what mechanism do you have to cope when under pressure? Tell us about a time when you were stressed? How did you deal with this?

What is the importance of working together?
Can you give a working example of the anti-oppressive framework?
