I had my COPD interview yesterday! My group had 8 other people in it, and before we went into the interview room we were asked to introduce ourselves to make things less awkward. It really helped! Once we went into the room, we began by going around the circle introducing ourselves. We were asked to share our name, why we chose social work, why Community Organizing, Planning & Development, and why Hunter. Then we were asked to discuss a time when we felt vulnerable and sought help from someone else. The interviewer asked about qualities social workers should have, but this was a voluntary question that some chose not to answer. The interviewer then opened up the floor to any questions we had about the program, which she answered for us. Finally, we were asked to do the typical 1 minute "Why should we accept you?" thing. After the questions, we were given unlimited time to read a 2 page article and write 1-2 paragraphs (1 page) about the social welfare implications. Overall, the interview seemed very comfortable and easygoing. The interviewer did seem a bit abrupt and seemed to have certain answers in mind when she asked questions. A few times, she warned interviewees to get back to the question and not stray away. She asked lots of follow up questions, but they were very straightforward and relatively easy to answer. Just be honest and relax!
