During your social work internship, you will be required to collaborate with team members, clients, family members, and other professionals. The interviewer wants to hear that you are a team player and can work well with diverse groups.

If you have experience working as a social work professional, describe how well you have collaborated with others in the past. If you are new to this field, use an experience from a former job, sports team, or school to describe how you work well with others.

Since the position requires you to work well with others, you want to avoid saying you do not enjoy working with others. If you show the interviewer that you will not be a team player or will have difficulty working with others, they will not hire you for the position.
