Social Worker-Masters in Social Work
I am a job seeker with a Masters' in Social Work. I am a teacher with the Norfolk Public school system and am looking for something that is more clinical and that matches my Social Work skills. I am a seasoned Business executive who is a career switcher and have a vast field of knowledge in the Geriatric field of Social Work, and in the area of Substance abuse as well as Mental Health. I would appreciate any leads in the fields just mentioned.
I think if you focus your resume and job search on that specific industry, you should have no problem. However, one word of warning --- depending on the position you apply for, you may have to leave off the fact you have a Masters Degree. That may "over-qualify" you. I know that's terrible to say, but it's true. Be sure to double check the requirements for each position to see if they call out "Masters degree preferred."
