The interview was structured but fairly relaxed, run by one faculty member and one child welfare social worker from the county. They read from a script, asking questions ranging from the general "What sparked your interest in social work?" to more specific scenario questions (i.e. giving you a background on a client, then describing a potentially stressful situation and asking you how you would deal with it). During the scenario questions, it seemed as if they were trying to assess my ability to prioritize, keep calm under pressure and my breadth of knowledge on standard practices and procedures in the field. Overall, I left feeling that I was underprepared, at least in the way of on-the-job knowledge. The best I can do now is keep my fingers crossed! Are you beginning your MSW at CSULB this year? If so, which program?

Hi all! I am beginning my MSW at CSU Long Beach this fall, and I recently (May 31st) interviewed for the CalSWEC child welfare stipend. Has anyone who has interviewed heard back? I knew going into it that it would be a bit of a wait, but I'm starting to get apprehensive. Thanks!
