Social Worker Question:

High caseloads and troubled clients can create enormous stress for social workers. Managers need to know they have competent, well-adjusted employees on hand who don't fall apart when crises occur. Talk about your belief in balance and your talents at being able to create environments free of stress in your home. Highlight your extracurricular activities such as playing an instrument or running and tell the recruiter the importance of your health to your overall mental well-being. Explain that you eat well, sleep and rest at night and can get others to breathe deeply and change directions when they get stressed out. Provide an example of when you applied your relaxation techniques with clients and the results of your intervention.
