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!

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.

NEWS & UPDATES STAY IN THE KNOW Keep up to date with FUSWA activities, events and news. < Back Join us on our new Discord Chat FUSWA 25 Feb 2022 Chat with a difference... FUSWA are excited to announce the launch of our new Discord Chat. During these challenging times, we felt it important to provide Flinders Social Work Students the ability to not only messenger chat with each other about topics and matters that interest them, but also provide a great channel for voice and video chat as well. The Flinders University Social Work Students (FUSWA) Discord Server, provide students the ability to communicate with voice calls to reach out to each other, video calls for study groups, normal text messaging, and the opportunity to upload media, and topic related files from external sources. As each new semester begins, we found that students are creating Facebook Messenger chats for topics. Whilst this is a good way of exchanging information, the information shared is always lost, and we believe what you share is valuable, and needs to be retained for emerging students heading into their new semester. So, the Team here at FUSWA made sure that you have channels dedicated to semester topics by year, across Bachelors, Masters, and Honours Degrees, regardless of whether you're an on campus, external or an international student. This way, you will have a history filled with rich information that you can scroll back on, which may in fact answer many of the same questions that arise every semester. NOT SURE HOW TO NAVIGATE DISCORD? Visit our Discord Page and watch the short Nav Video here: https://www.fuswa.com/social Become part of the FUSWA community, and connect with each other...today!

NEWS & UPDATES STAY IN THE KNOW Keep up to date with FUSWA activities, events and news. < Back FUSWA HAS MOVED FUSWA 6 Aug 2024 WE HAVE MOVED TO SSS118 After meticulous planning and dedicated efforts spanning more than 2 years, initiated by our 2022/23 President 'Lucas Clayton', and completed by our 2024 President 'Anna Kennett', the Flinders University Social Work Association (FUSWA) achieved a significant milestone by relocating to the prestigious Social Sciences South building (SSS118). This move marks a pivotal moment in the Association's journey, symbolising growth, progress, and a strengthened commitment to fostering excellence in the field of social work for our students. The transition to the new premises signifies a new chapter for FUSWA, offering enhanced opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and student engagement. The Social Sciences South building's conducive learning environment provides a fitting setting for FUSWA to expand its activities and initiatives. The Association can now leverage the resources and infrastructure of the new location to further its mission of promoting well-being and advocating for students. By establishing a physical presence in Social Sciences South, FUSWA is poised to deepen its connections with students, faculty, and external partners. This strategic move not only consolidates the Association's position within the academic landscape but also opens up avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange. The close proximately to social work staff within the Social Sciences South building is expected to inspire creativity, foster dialogue, and stimulate critical thinking among FUSWA members, contributing to their professional development and personal growth. As FUSWA settles into its new home, the Association looks forward to embarking on exciting projects, hosting engaging events, and initiating meaningful outreach activities. The transition to the Social Sciences South building represents a transformative moment for FUSWA, signalling a bright future filled with opportunities to make a positive impact on the Flinders society and advance the field of social work for our students.
