QUESTION 1 OF 30

Why do you want a career as an alcohol and drug counselor?

This question is similar to the pervasive "Tell me about yourself' question. Take this time to explain to the interviewer what events, school and experiences you've had that made you want to pursue this career. Besides the fact that you have the experience and the education to support this career, what made you want to choose this line of work? Perhaps you have always wanted to help people overcome and conquer dependencies. Feel free to tell a story about why you chose this line of work but be sure to keep it short and not too detailed.
