NEWS & UPDATES STAY IN THE KNOW Keep up to date with FUSWA activities, events and news. < Back FUSWA Discord Champions Needed FUSWA 1 Mar 2022 Are you good with Discord? As we head into 2022, the Team here at FUSWA have been unveiling new initiatives to help Social Work Students at Flinders University. One such application is our FUSWA Discord Server, built to provide Students studying the Bachelor's Degree, Master's or doing their Honour's, no matter where they are in the world, an opportunity to connect, share and feel part of the Flinders Social Work Community. With Messenger / WhatsApp chats, we've found that Students come and go each semester, starting new chats with every new topic they commence. But sadly these chats, full of ideas and shared accounts, experiences and valuable information, is lost forever. However, by using the FUSWA Discord, you will, as with every new student coming into a topic, open up a world of information left behind by those students who have completed them, and even be able to add your own stamp for those that follow. To help us, help you, we are asking for Students familiar with Discord and know their way around a Chat Server, to help others who may not be as confident in its use. If you believe yourself to be someone who can lead the way and become a FUSWA Discord Champion, let us know by reaching out to the Team here at FUSWA by emailing - fuswa.team@gmail.com Together, we can create something awesome!

The basics of Flinders Social Work Field Placement. Field Placement The in's and out's of Social Work Field Placement Updated September 2024 Ok, you've hit that point in your degree and need to get ready for Field Placement. Whether you're a BSW or MSW student, we've put some basic information together that we feel will be helpful, and hopefully ease you into the process. Firstly, what is Placement? Field education is important to social work education. It is a required component of all undergraduate and postgraduate social work programs in Australia and a compulsory element of your studies outlined by the AASW. Field placements are organised learning experiences in which a student is put in an agency or community to work on specific activities under the supervision of a social worker, and the Flinders field education staff. The material offered here is intended to help students in navigating what's involved in the field education placement process, and hopefully make it a little easier for you to achieve a successful and gratifying placement experience. Basically, we've tried to provide you with the basics and what you need leading up to, and whilst you are on placement. From the FUSWA Team, good luck and enjoy the experience!

"Your Placement Interview" Here's what we suggest and some information provided to students by the WILL Team to help you increase your chances and maximize your potential. Placement Interview The basics of what you need to know In Summary Before the match becomes official, all social work students who have been matched to an agency by the WIL Support Team will be expected to attend an interview. The WIL Support Team will send you an email with match details and guidance on how to confirm your interview with your host agency. The WIL Support Team will help and support you through everything. Placement Interview Guide (@ FLO) Your Resume A resume is a document that a person creates and uses to demonstrate their history, abilities, and accomplishments. It reflects your personality and is based on years of experience. Keep it to 1-2 pages in general and only use the most recent experience you have, say the last 2 to 5 years. In the interview you can expand. Some good examples can be found on - @ FLO or Seek.com and Indeed.com SW Resume Template (Download) Email Signature An email signature is a block of text at the end of an email which includes professional contact details. What to Include in an Email Signature First and Last Name. Affiliation Info (such as "Social Work Student" and "Flinders University") Email address and mobile number. Social Profile Icons. Awards and Certificates. Example Email Signatures (Download) Introduction Email To write an introductory email that gets a good reaction, be genuine, straightforward, and engaging. A good introductory email should be clear, concise and free of grammatical errors. Confirm what you need to bring to the interview. Don't go into too much detail about yourself. Follow up with a phone call if you haven't received a response in 3-4 working days. Student Email To Agency (Example) Preparing For The Interview A good interview plays a role in gaining placement and is great practice for when you are job seeking. The WIL Support Team have a wealth of information to help you to succeed. If you are not successful in the first interview, don't freak out! The process is not over and you will get another chance of placing with a different agency. It just means your placement start date is pushed out. Preparing For The Interview (@ FLO) A Little Research Helps Researching the Agency helps you understand what skills, knowledge and personal attributes they might be looking for, and questions they may ask. Make a note of any standout information. Visit their website to discover their mission, values, clients, model of service delivery, etc Jump onto their social media accounts to view recent news like Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. 7 Things To Research (@ Glassdoor) Know Your Story "Tell me about yourself?" "Why did you decide to do social work?" They appear to be easy questions, but are they? These might be the questions that cause you to fail the interview if you are unprepared. Make a table with four categories and a list of details and scenarios for each area that may be relevant to the placement host and experience you are interviewing for. Develope Your 'Story' (@ FLO) What To Wear Wear an appropriate outfit. You won't be expected to wear formal work attire, but make sure you look clean, and neat. Clean, neutral slacks or pants, dress shirts, and jackets are safe choices. Don't go in wearing t-shits with slogans or images that could be deemed inappropriate. Ripped jeans, shorts or thongs (flip flops) are never advised. To ease your nerves, wear something you comfortable on the day. What To Wear (@Indeed) Where Are You Going? Being late to an interview is a really bad way to start off. Be it in person, or online. Know where you are going and how best to get there, either using public transport or your own car. We recommend arriving up 10 - 15 minutes early because this gives you time to relax and gather your thoughts. It gives you time to chat to Agency staff, providing you some good questions to ask during the interview. Showing Up On The Day (@ JobSage) First Impressions Count How to make a great first impression in an interview? Attitude! Having really positive attitude is a must. How you look and act can matter as much as your knowledge, your education, skills, experience and ideas. Genuine - Be your authentic self. Be Nervous - don't try and hide it, just be honest and upfront about how you feel. Language - if you feel its a barrier, say so. People will tend to accommodate you. Careers Interview Session, May 2021 How to Answer Questions There are generally 4 main types of interview questions you'll get - Behavioural: 'Tell us a time...' Situational: 'What would you do if...' Case study: 'Your client presents with...' Technical/Skill: referring to tools, knowledge, industry specific details For behavioural questions the STAR (@ FLO) response is a great guide on how to formulate your responses. Careers Interview Session, May 2021 Questions to ask? (hint) Asking questions about the interviewers own experience at the organization can help you build rapport and gain direct feedback about what it's like to work there. They may also offer a more detailed view of the people you will be working with and the environment. Be prepared for personal questions and the all important, "Why do you want to be a SW?" & "Why do you want to be here?". Big Interview Overview (@ Flinders) What to do after the Interview It's great to send some love, so email the Agency and thank them for their time soon after your interview. It shows that you are keen and keeps you top of mind. Another great hint is to follow up with the Agency a few days later by telephone. This gives you the chance to ask how you went, what things could have been better, and what things they liked. Good for personal development. After the Interview (@Indeed) Unsuccessful Interview? If you're not successful, don't freak out! Every effort will be made to match you with a different agency. The ability to rematch will be determined by a variety of factors like reasons why you weren't successful, timings in the placement process, and availability of placements. It's not the end of your journey, just a slight bump in the road. Contact the WIL Support Team.
