13. How do you plan out your day to ensure that all priorities are met?
How to Answer
As a Social Worker, you have to juggle many things within your career. Paperwork, home visits, courtroom appearances can consume you if you don't have a good system to keep everything on track. Are you a to-do list person? Maintain a daily planner? How do you prioritize your work? Tell the interviewer how you manage your day through the organization. You never know, the interviewer may be so impressed that they ask you to help organize a program or create a new process to help out the organization.
