"Working with individuals with criminal backgrounds has been challenging for me in the past. After spending time with these clients I get to know them as a person. I can see past the history but it is hard for employers to see the promise in them that I see."

Challenges can also be viewed as weaknesses. When answering this question it will be important that you relay to the interviewer what you learned from these challenges. Have you found that particular types of clients in the past have been challenging for you? Maybe managing the large workload you had at your last position was challenging.

"One area I find challenging as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor is working with clients that are not interested in finding work. In the past, "‹I've found that I just have to work with these clients a bit longer than others. Pushing these individuals before they are ready to get out into the working world only makes them regress more. I've learned to be more patient and empathetic working with these types of clients."

Empower by showing them their value as a person & an employee, then working with them to speak up when they have been treated wrongly, or deserve better treatment, pay, position, etc.

While these are positive steps to take in your work with clients, this doesn't exactly address the question itself. What part of vocational rehabilitation work are you challenged by, and how do you try to improve, based on those challenges?
