Tell me about your education.
The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the education needed to perform your job as a Social Work Supervisor. They want to hear if you have a degree, certificates, or specialized training that qualifies you to work in this field.
Focus on describing your education as it relates to the position. You do not need to start with receiving your high school diploma or GED. Start with post-secondary training and beyond. Many Social Work Supervisor positions require a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) or a related field or a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work (BASW) or related with five or more years of supervisory experience.
Avoid not having the education required for the position. Suppose the job description calls for a Social Work Supervisor with a Master's Degree in Social Work. In that case, you want to be sure you meet the requirements before applying for the job.
"I received my Master's Degree in Social Work three years ago from California State University Fresno and have been working as a Social Work Supervisor since. I am interested in receiving my Doctoral Degree in Social Work and am researching online programs to see what best suits my needs."
