The interviewer asks this question to see how dedicated you are to your profession and how you stay up-to-date on current trends in the industry. If you belong to professional organizations, it shows the interviewer that you are a true professional.

Focus on describing what professional organizations you are a member of and how long. There are many social work organizations, some are general to the profession, and some are more specific to the population you will be working with. You can research professional organizations for social workers to learn more and easily become a member online.

To be considered for the social work internship, it is best to be a member of at least one or two professional organizations. When you are a member of an organization, you will have valuable networking opportunities to share ideas with other members and stay up-to-date on local trends.

"Yes, I am a member of several professional organizations. I have been a member of the National Association of Social Workers for five years, and recently became a member of the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry after deciding to work with this population."
