Social workers, often referred to as “agents of change,” join the profession with the intention of making the world a better place. However, most social workers do not learn a systematic approach to fostering change in their own career advancement. By focusing on your personal and professional growth, you can build a legacy that extends beyond immediate impacts, ensuring that your contributions endure and inspire future generations of social workers, clients, and communities. This interactive guidebook will provide you with useful tools and inspiration for every stage of your social work career journey.
The authors, who have decades of experience leading career services offices in top-tier social work schools, break down the stages of career development and provide tips, easy-to-access exercises, and resume and correspondence samples. The chapters will guide you through applying for jobs, interviewing, evaluating offers, negotiating salary and benefits, and successfully onboarding at your new job. Case studies and appendices provide strategies for building and documenting your network, interview questions and tactical responses, personal budgeting templates, and tools for evaluating single and multiple job offers.
Throughout, the authors encourage the readers to take a long view of their career and their legacy. Whether you are a recent social work graduate or a seasoned expert, this book will set you on a path toward your ideal job and professional fulfillment.
