"My greatest strength as a social worker is my active listening skills. Utilizing my active listening no only shows the patient that I'm focused on them but it allows me to get the information that I need in order to appropriately diagnose and help the patient."

As a Social Worker you know this question will be asked! Don't choose an answer that you think the interviewer wants to hear. Choose a characteristic that you possess so you can show how it relates to your career. Have you become more empathetic and it allows you to relate with your clients more? Do you pride yourself in creating boundaries with your clients as to not get too emotionally involved? Have you improved your active listening skills over the years?
