Throughout the interview, I did not just ask the questions straight from the paper, but instead I tried to talk to MW and get to know her as well as get the information I needed. After the interview, I felt relieved that it was completed, but also, I felt a sense of pride in what I did. I not only interviewed someone for a school project, but I also learned about someone and got to know them on a personal level. A few things I would change and would do differently about the interview process is probably try to listen more and write less. Also, try to memorize the questions instead of reading them.

Asking both open and closed questions allowed different responses suitable for different situations; open questions allowed for a discussion whereas closed questions encourage definite, concise responses and decisions. Before handing in any work I proof read it to reduce the risk of having any incorrect information or unnecessary mistakes. When researching for the tasks I took notes rather than whole pages of information so that I could pick out relevant information quicker, and then build upon it. Overall I believe I used a range of written and interpersonal communication techniques throughout the unit. They helped me to work well within a group and complete work in a quick and efficient

The only distinction was that they were interviewed by another set of interviewers. Because the route of their process was located fairly close to those of the tutors’ applicants, several tutee applicants would led themselves towards the wrong table. Though, both applicants needed to get interviewed, however, tutees had a more easing experience. Family members of those who were applying sat around the tables laid out for filling out forms. Most of them seemed uninterested and approached their phones almost immediately for entertainment.

(Thyer 2012) He applied ideas of individual systems, parts, and processes to understanding the entirety of an organism. Applying this to systems as a family, we can see that a family operates as a unit with interrelated systems that affect the unit either as a whole or within the individuals. Referring clients to specialists and connecting clients to resources, allows the social work to help the client navigate between each of the systems and ultimately help the client’s situation. In reference to the Jarvis family, the social worker recommended the intervention is to seek specialized help to help the children better get over their traumatic experience. Furthermore, she recognized that Mrs. Jarvis too would benefit from speaking with someone to address how it had affected her and her future

In an article, Warren stated that “We tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions” (Warren 1). This is because no one can truly know what a person 's motives are, but they can know their own intentions. It is easier to conclude an idea of a person based on what one can see and know for sure. A person can have good intentions, but the outcome may turn out unfavorable, knowing the final action is simpler to judge because it can be known for sure. Warren also stated that “If we judged ourselves by how our actions are perceived by others, we may become more sensitive and understanding of any hurtful responses by them” (Warren 1).

The role of a Social worker entails working alongside Government policies, and muliti-agencies to help children, family and adults to overcome social barriers and to change society. Social worker can also intervene where an individual need support ranging from: caring for family members, conflicts, drug and alcohol problems, or disabilities. For example a social worker may have to intervene when there is a situation whereby a vulnerable adults or a child need safeguarding,whether from abuse, neglect, exploitation or harm, or where a child may be at risk to themselves or others. Equally if the parent or carer are unable to care for the child whether because of family breakdown or mental distress where their action could significantly impairment, the child may possibly need removing from the home. However

“A moment of silence is often helpful for the client to dive into his emotions and think about a specific topic or circumstances.” From what I have practiced this statement is correct but it is very difficult to accomplish this as a new coach. This might happen to me because of being nervous and doubtful of my own level of ability for coaching. I feel that I can have a tendency to talk and try and assume what the coachee must feel when I am nervous or to just fill a void of silence. I tried to stick to the model this occasionally I felt like the model was restricting the conversation. This model is best utilized with a light touch and as a source of perspective should you get stuck.

No, none of the questions I asked were more uncomfortable then others. While it may seem strange to mention, ever since I took my Human Sexuality class there really has not been many uncomfortable questions for me to ask others. Did you feel comfortable deviating from the scripted questions when appropriate? As the interview moved along, I became more comfortable doing the interview. Whenever the circumstance presented itself, I took the opportunity to ask or learn additional information.
