Mock Interview Swot Analysis

When working with all clients there is a need as a practitioner to use techniques that incorporate, promote a therapeutic relationship. While these may be presented differently with each client the practitioners need to be using three main skills. These are using Unconditional positive regard, being genuine with clients always and while you may not have waked in a similar situation as your client, the use of empathy supports the therapeutic relationship.

Due to Marks very depressed state, the initial interaction required a great deal of empathy and high degrees of compassion. When first engaging a client, it is important to be compassionate and empathetic and listen without interrupting, prompting or advising (Berg-Weger, 2013). Reflecting and summarizing content delivered in the session is a valuable way to let the client know that you are actively listening to what they are saying

USAA Savings Bank has been around for a long time believe it or not. In 1922 USAA was originally founded in San Antonio, Texas when 25 Army officers decided to come together and insure each other’s automobiles. William Garrison was USAA’s first elected president. Shortly after that USAA’s first employee was Harold Dunton, who was hired as a general manager. Major Walter Moore purchased the first automobile insurance policy for $114.74 and became USAA’s first member. Two years later in 1924 USAA printed their first credo. The company motto was “Service to the Services.” 1928 was the year that USAA started advertising 8,000 active component service members

I was able to focus in on the strengths of the client along with providing the client the right to self-determination as to what she would like to do. I attempted to summarize what the client was saying to ensure the client felt understood and to clarify that I understood the situation and needs of the client along with her overall goal of being reunited with her children. There were areas for improvement which include expressing more empathy for the client’s overall situation. I failed to ask how certain things made the client feel. I could have expanded on how the client felt about the death of her grandmother, living in a half-way house, and being separated from her children. I also did not use lead-in responses as much as I could have. As the social worker, I should have expanded on the client’s willingness to be honest about her past and should have thanked her for doing so. This can be extremely difficult for clients to do and honesty is a key part of the working relationship that is being established during the

K., & Hull, G. H., Jr., 2018). The initial meeting can make or break a worker-client relationship. It is important to be prepared and show the client that you are there to listen and help them with whatever they may need. The engagement step requires the social worker to utilize both, verbal and nonverbal skills, to build rapport. Also, it is important for the social worker to state their purpose and role (Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr., 2018). In this role play, I did not tell the client my purpose or role. I should have stated my name along with my title, social worker. Also, I would have mentioned that my duties were to do the intake and design and create treatment plans with goals and interventions detailed to the specific client needs. I need to be more aware of my nonverbal behavior. There was eye contact made between the client and me. However, I did scratch my arm and my side which is a tell of my nervousness. If I were to do that in an initial meeting, the client may notice, and it might seem that I do not want to be there. It is important to be aware of your body movements, which includes knowing what is acceptable to different

During the interaction phase, as the client revealed that he was feeling anxious about visiting the physician to discuss the results of a biopsy, I was able to actively listen, and express my genuine interest through appropriate nonverbal communication, and paraphrasing. For instance, when he mentioned his Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, I made sure to nod, maintain eye contact, and verbally genuinely demonstrate my interest in his feelings, and concerns. Additionally, as an attempt to verbally display the

When I was in the social worker role I made sure to look at my client in the eye when they were speaking to me to validate that I was listening. While listening I made sure to listen actively by summarizing what the client was saying and remembered to say things that could reassure the client that I am trying to understand what they are feeling. Examples of this are phrases such as: “I hear what you are saying that you felt this way” and “I don’t know what you’re feeling but it must be hard on you to feel this way”. Which in turn also helped me create open ended questions to ask the client. By being an active listener and empathizing with the client it makes it easier to ask open ended questions because I have more information to work on than if I was not really listening or being sympathetic instead of empathetic. I can ask questions that can fill in any loop holes that might be able to help to understand my clients’ strengths or what their needs are. I am glad that I learned that I have these strengths as a social worker and how these strengths will be great tools to help my future

The therapeutic alliance also known as a therapeutic relationship is about how I as a clinician/therapist connects, behave and engage with a client and also how a client relates to the therapist (Harely Therapy, 2016). This relationship is collaborative. I remember going into the first session nervous and incompetent. In our first meeting, Sarah asked me, you are just a student and how can you help her. I remember telling her, I am being trained at university and also, I am working under the supervision of J*. I let her know that I will be transparent about things I don't know, and I will come back with answers in the next session or sessions. As Sarah shared her fears of

The process of SWOT analysis is a universal method widely approached in corporations to scan the internal and external environment so that companies can deploy relevant countermeasures to make improvements. It contains four elements, they are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (Helms & Nixon, 2010).

This paper is my personal SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis discusses four specific categories to evaluate a project, situation or in my case my personal and professional life (Hay, Castilla, 2006). In this analysis I will look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that I need to address in my life. The concept of this type of analysis is a great way to find out ways to improve, but at the same time is a difficult task for someone like me who has a hard time outwardly expressing self attributes. That might be one of my weaknesses or threats, on the other hand it might be what makes me a good listener to others. I will refer to the SWOT analysis chart throughout this paper (figure 1.1) the list was difficult but, I feel it is pretty close to complete.

According to What is SWOT Anlysis (2011), SWOT analysis is an analysis used to identify the internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) of the company as well as external factors (opportunities and threats) of the company.
