Interview Plans

As a part of my field class, we must interview a practicing professional by the end of the semester. I feel this is very important because it can definitely open doorways if done the right way. That is actually part of the reason I got my placement for this semester is because my current supervisor was the professional I interviewed my first semester in the program. For my informational interview this time I will be interviewing the international adoption worker at Lutheran Social Services because that is where my heart really lies. I want to be an international adoption worker in the long run and I would really like to know how she became involved in it herself. I have been starting to tweak my resume and cover letter to reflect my internship because I believe that adds important skills that employers will look at. I use a resume that reflects my skills instead of job experience because I don’t have a lot of job experience that relates to the field. However, I feel that the tech is definitely helping me build on the job experience so that in the near future I may be able to switch that. I am definitely becoming a better working professional through my time at the tech and was able to help with case files last week at my internship because I was taught how to put them together in my case management class. Pretty soon I will be learning how to do a home study which is essential in adoption!
