Has anyone done a degree in Social Work?

[Sammy22]

Im just looking for abit of advice really, are there any social workers out there! ive got an interview with Leeds Met this wk. what are the typical things they will ask me, apart from the obvious "why do you want to come here" "what are your good qualities" stuff??

I'm at leeds met at the moment though i'm not doing social work. when i came for my interview they made us get into groups and do some team work things and then gave us a short interview at the end. try to come across quite confident and bubbly so they don't just dismiss you and join in with the team building games. apart from that i can't really remember what they asked me to be honest so i wouldn't worry about it!

after this now though i bet your day is completely different to how mine was!

good luck anyway and let us know

Cheers Becki thats exactly what ive been told by a few people how the interview will be, im crackers anyway so i wont have any problems standing out, believe me! can i ask what degree your doing and do you live in the uni halls, or are you from leeds?

Sure, I started doing teaching but didn't really like it so changed to Childhood Studies. I lived in private halls in my first year called Liberty Park just on the edge of the city which was great but now living in Headingley which is ok. You'll be fine in your interview, good luck though and let me know :)
