Now is the time to really let your passion show. Think back to the time that you decided you wanted to work with people suffering from addiction. Did you choose this career because you were disappointed in the system? Do you have a family member that you wanted to help? Keep your answer honest and positive. We all know there is a lot of disfunction in the world but during your interview is not the time to focus on that.
