QUESTION 12 OF 30

By providing examples, convince me that you can adapt to a wide variety of people, situations and environments.

As an alcohol and drug counselor, you will have a wide variety of patients as well as the opportunity to assess their situations in different environments. There isn't a one-size-fits-all when it comes to being a counselor so make sure to tell the interviewer that.
Use specific examples, to exclude names, that show you are a well-rounded therapist and you can take on any challenge that comes your way.

"I had the opportunity, right after graduating, to work overseas with a diverse population. My co-workers and I led a very successful therapy group despite the language barriers and environment. I have also spent time teaching myself Spanish so that I can better communicate with the large Hispanic community in my center's region."
