How do you stay up-to-date on the latest trends in your profession?

When responding to this question, focus on describing how you stay current in your industry. The more methods you have to keep up-to-date on the latest issues confronting Social Work Supervisors, the better.

Avoid saying you do not stay current on the latest trends. There are many avenues available to keep current on the latest trends, and the interviewer wants to hear that you take advantage of the information that is out there. If you do not follow the industry trends, the interviewer will determine that you lack the passion and motivation to improve your knowledge as a Social Work Supervisor.

"I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and attend their annual conference and read their industry journals. I also subscribe to Social Work Today and read about social workers' challenges working with certain populations. Additionally, I monitor the online state social work board where I keep current on rule and policy changes."
