Professional Job Search Workshop Series for Social Workers: Professional Interviewing

Presented by Associate Professor Anna Haley

How do I answer "what's your biggest weakness" without sounding ... weak? How do I talk about why I want the job and how I'm a fit for it? What do I wear? How are Zoom interviews different?  Learn some helpful, concrete strategies for responding to common interview questions, pitching yourself clearly and persuasively, and presenting yourself well. 

This event is part of a four-part series designed to prepare upcoming and recent social work graduates with tools for successful professional job searches, including writing great resumes and cover letters; interviewing to put your best self forward; negotiating compensation packages to "do well while doing good," and understanding the complexities of career job benefits (like how health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off work). Having trained social work students, alums, and professionals on job search strategies for the last 25 years, Professor Haley will review key strategies in these sessions as well as take participant questions.

All sessions will be recorded.
