Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Candidates were shortlisted based on the academic credentials possessing Post Graduation in Social Sciences, preferably in Social Work or Sociology and five years of work experience.

Round: Test
Experience: Three hours of objective test which includes: Reasoning and Aptitude, General Knowledge, Awareness about the social schemes in the county, Indian Constitution and Numerical ability.

General Tips: I was interviewed by an experienced panel of three members. After a formal round of introduction, they started off by asking about the distinction between Sociology and Social work. As I was engaged with the Social Justice Department at the time of the interview, my next round of questions related to empowerment of women and how creatively can we address the problem. They also asked in particular my experiences in the Social Justice Department with regard to alleviation of poverty. The final round of questions related with my overall attitude as a Social Worker and theoretical questions were also asked about the implementing agency to whom I may work if selected.

My word of advice to the people who are pursuing a role in Social Work should exhibit a positive attitude in understanding the problems faced by ordinary people. In plain words, we should feel disturbed by the worries of the public. The next step is to address the issue. Imagine the role played by Social Workers in refugee camps as there will be a lot of people thronging them. On this occasion, our problem solving and analytical skills are essential to deliver the goods required for the betterment of the group. In the actual field, strong people centric approach is required to understand the public and same is the case in interview as well. Be an active listener with empathy while facing questions. I remember the interview panel even testing me on difficult questions as they need further explanation and description. Don't worry, they are checking on your attitude and never let your cool down in such situations.

All the best folks!
