As a Social Worker, your most desirable clients would be the one's you can tick a box and confirm that they are on the road to recovery. Obviously not every client is that easy. What characteristic do these dream patients have that makes your job so easy and rewarding. Steer clear of mentioning names and too much personal information. Feel free to mention a particular population if you know that it is the only population the agency works with. If you are interviewing for a position within an adoption agency, and your favorite population is drug addicted adults, you might talk yourself out of a job.
