Are there any school social workers out there?
Asked by mead1973
I have a MSW and I interned as a school social worker when I first got my MSW in 2002. My biggest goal has been to become a school social worker. I can't seem to get a job in the field. I am a certified special education teacher too. So, I have experience working with kids in the school environment but can't seem to get hired as a school social worker. Please give me some advice and tips that can get me hired?
A:
Best Answer:
Are you professionally certified? Have you taken all the required exams to be professionally certified with a school district? Go to your state Department of Education website and find out how to apply for your professional certificate for social work.
A:
Some hospitals hire social workers that they put into 'special schools'. By special I mean that they are meant for children who can't hack it in regular schools. This may be something you may want to look into. I know this because my G/F is a social worker that this is how she does it
