Social Worker Question:

Role-plays have become very popular in all sort of job interviews. Social work is no exception. Especially in private institutions, interviewers use it pretty often. It is also quite common in agency recruitment. The interviewer plays a client (or brings one to the room), and you need to "perform your job" straight there. The guide on how to ace a role play exceeds the content of the free part of this website. However, I can give you at least few hints:
☛ Be yourself. Do not try to be a different man, just adjust your behavior a little to the situation.
☛ Accept the role play. Some people refuse it in an interview. It is a big mistake. If you refuse to do the tole play, they won't give you a job.
☛ Take it seriously. I know it is only a play. But anyway, you should take it as seriously as ever, because it is a part of your interview. And many times it is the most important part of the process… Do not forget on it.
