Personal Statement: A Career As A Social Worker

I recently graduated from Barry University with my MSW and is looking to work for a company that will help me to continue to improve my skills as a clinical social worker. I know that with my willingness and passion learn how to therapeutically assist society's diverse population I will be an asset to your

There are many goals I hope to accomplish by attaining knowledge of social work. My ultimate career goal is to establish a non-profit organization in an inner city that will provide services for children during week days and weekends.

One thing that I have always been certain of when it comes to my future is that I want to inspire, help, and have a positive impact on as much people as possible. I want to fight for those that have no voice and create any necessary social change in my community. The field of social work would help me accomplish that. Social work is a broad field where I would be able to work with various populations of people throughout the community ranging from children to the elderly. I believe that by pursuing a master’s degree in social work I will have a sense of deep satisfaction knowing that I will be prepared to face any obstacle in my future as a social worker. I am aware that social work can be challenging but knowing that I will be able to advocate for others that are helpless and fight for social justice will be very rewarding. I first became interested in social work seven years ago, after my aunt and her husband decided to become foster parents, I would help my aunt take care of the children, and they were all very sweet kids that I will never forget. My aunt and her husband were given the opportunity to adopt a 5-year-old girl and shortly after were able to adopt her newborn sister. It was a very joyous day for our family when the adoption was finalized. During that time I met their social worker, she was a very kind and knowledgeable woman that inspired me to pursue a career in social work. I admired how passionate she was about her job and how much she enjoyed making an

My passion for helping the vulnerable is one reason I ‘am inspired to become a social worker. I also want to be available to provide support to those who have nowhere else to turn. My experience in social work has taught me to celebrate the small victories towards positive changes. I look forward to gaining the skills and knowledge to aid me in becoming a successful social worker.

I found this to be one of the key factors in developing my strong desire to become a

Starting from being a certified nursing assistant, to becoming a unit secretary for a hospital that specialize in wound care, I have always known that I wanted to help individuals in need. However, I noticed that I was not happy with helping individuals in medical need. It wasn’t until I decided to continue my education that I introduced to the world of social work. Going up with a single mother that suffered from drug abuse, my family depended on social services for a lot of assistance, from everything such as food stamps to family counseling. This life experience helped guide my thoughts on pursuing social work as a career. I know that I want to help individuals that are down on their luck, but I want to take it one step farther, by providing individual counseling to adults that may need more one on one time, than what is normally given from a social service agency. Counseling will also give me a chance to do what I love most and that is to talk and get to know the individuals that I am helping make like changing decisions. Working as a clinical social work has my interest because it does not put limits on what I can do or who I can help, and it will set me up for my future goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker. Being my own boss and changing my community is my dream job, opportunity and goal. I am currently on my way with changing my community and living my dream, because I am currently working for a non-profit

I have always been a very compassionate and empathetic person. I love people and being able to change someone's life for the better is incredibly fulfilling. The skills I have under my belt include active listening, self-awareness, and sensitivity to others. Other abilities that can complement my work as social worker are that I am culturally responsive and can address diverse communities with the respect they deserve. Becoming a social worker is a tough career, but I also feel as if I am tough enough to take on this challenge.

Social Work, as a profession, is a great fit for me. My interest in social work originates from having the desire to be able to help children that are abused and neglected to find better homes and safe environments. Helping foster children find loving families, so they can be loved and happy too. I enjoy helping and making a difference in the lives of others. I have been so close to being homeless it scared me so much. Helping the homeless, homeless veterans,

1. For most of my adulthood I have been trying to find out my purpose where do I fit and what career path is should take. I have been a Pharmacy Technician for fourteen years. For most of those years I felt as though I should be doing something other than what I am doing. My first impression of a social worker was that they only removed children from unsafe situations.

I want to help people realize that harm can come from someone that is closest to you whether it's a family member or the love of your life. I'm continuing down a path that allows me to help people, who are in similar situations so that I can lessen their painful affliction in their lives. I want to put my feelings aside and become selfless for someone else. I want to make a change in a person's life. I believe a social worker exhibits these qualities, in order, to create a safe space for individuals who want to make a better change. I think positively impacting a person's life, no matter how small or big, is worth it. Furthermore, I believe in giving someone a chance to make a change. I believe that chances and changes overlap each other. Without a chance, you can never make a change and to make a change, you need to take a chance. In the past, I took chances that freed me from the negative elements that were hindering my

I can see myself having social working as a career for the rest of my life because I like helping people face problems that they can’t face on their own. I love working with children, families, and being able to experience working with others and helping them face obstacles that their facing in their life. One of many reasons I would also enjoy social working as a career would be helping these people overcome obstacles they thought they’d never overcome. While growing up and facing tough situations in life, I always had family and friends there for me which is why I would love to help others and be there for them because it’s a great feeling knowing that you have people there wanting to listen to you and help you through problems.

I have more than seven years of experience as a technical project manager at top Fortune 500 companies. Most recently, I led the development of an award-winning new financing platform. I’m a person who thrives in a fast-paced environment so right now I’m looking for an opportunity to apply my technical experience and my creative problem solving skills at an innovative software company like this one. I am young, eager to learn, and motivated to work hard. I have the passion for numbers, having spent five years at an accounting firm.

The reason why i want to become a social worker is because I want to help people with disability problems, home problems and health issues. I have witnessed a lot of problems like with family and kids related and i wouldn’t like to be in that situation so i want to help them

I know, without a doubt, that my calling is to become a Social Worker for the simple reason that I want to make a difference in people’s lives. All of my life experiences that I will outline below have prepared me and lead me to pursue my dream of acquiring a Masters in Social Work. With that being said, in my opinion the basic purpose of a Social Worker in its simplest form is to maximize human potential. Sometimes humans are helpless and need someone to help guide them in order for them to reach their maximum potential and live better and deserving lives. In my case, growing up I experienced different circumstances that have led me to seek a career in Social Work.

Also, in my past there has been instances that have drawn me to the field of social work. I have had a few family members who have had several different issues dealing with drugs, abuse, and their children being placed in foster care. In one case I took one of the children into my home and my parents took three children into their home. Every family has some different situations, but these incidents have opened my eyes to many new things. This is one of the reasons I feel social work would be a good fit for me. I enjoy helping others build themselves up and make a better life for them and their families. It is a blessing to be part of a team who helps families, children, and groups in need. Helping children get out of bad situations is one of the most rewarding jobs you could ever have in life.
