@@christianaebeleonyela7170 I did grad school six years ago. I'm sure I did it then but i haven't thought about it since. All schools have their students report on their field placements in different ways. There isn't a universal field placement report that I am familiar with.
Great video! You’re def. the go to person for Macro Social Work! I have considered a career in social work research (still am) so this video is very informative! There’s so many great options in social work 😊
@@DonzellLampkins thank you for supporting, Donzell. I did research for a few years and I kind of miss it. I always try to integrate the skills I learned in the work I do now.
My first research job was at the Research Institute on Addictions, which is now part of my alma mater, The University at Buffalo. My second research job was with the Nathan Kline Institute and the Manhattan Psychiatric Center
My first job as a BSW was a research student for Loma Linda University School of Social Work and Social Ecology. It’s an amazing position to learn how to evaluate data and recommend ways to improve services based on results I found. 👏 Great Video!
I already read those kinds of reports anyway! (that’s available to the public) That’s what got me thinking that I’d like to work in social work, so I did some research and found your videos. It wasn’t until recently that I found out that there’s a way to still work in the social work field without having to take on a carer role and that’s social work research!
Super happy I found this! I’m a sociology major and I want to get into a research job/ internship. My plan is for my senior yr I want to a get research internship. Get a research job THEN get my masters. However I don’t see a lot of internships
Wow you’re so good with speaking about these things, my attention has never been more directed to listening someone speak. You make it sound so fun it’s obvious you love what you do!
Great topic! I have experience working part time as a research assistant while I was an MSW student and full time as a research associate after I got my MSW. Both were very rich experiences that helped me in my clinical practice even to this day.
Thanks to your short and comprehensive explanation of the importance of social research in SW profession. This one is good enough for my students to revise and prepare for assignments visually.
I was surprised at how helpful research professors were at my university, they were enthusiastic about their work and wanted to help others also become researchers :)
I'm interested in policy analysis but I know someone who's a natural researcher I'm definitely going to send this video to her it sounds interesting great content!
I loved this video! I graduated with my MSW and I’m looking for research jobs, so this was very informative! Would it be possible for you to interview a social work research too or give any advice for people applying for research jobs?
@@MindyourSociety you’re welcome!! Also, it might be cool to interview someone who is working in the higher education field, because I know the number of social workers are increasing there as well!
Thank you for all your information - I found out about Macro Social Work not long ago and I am trying to figure out if that's something I wish to pursue! Are there remote macro social work avenues?
You are welcome Imani! I don’t know macro opportunities that are generally remote but I know these days many jobs are turning remote. My job is fully remote at this time.
What about if your program does not have a macro specialization? Ho do you go about transitioning in macro practice? The program I am interested in is just general MSW. Thanks for all you're doing .
How do I enter in macro level work ? My school/internship experience was hospital /direct work related . I’ll be graduating in 2 semesters and can’t change placements
I'm in my first year of my bsw. I will finish next fall but I will hopefully go right into an advanced standing program. I still do not know what I want to do
@@MindyourSociety thank you so much for that advice because I'm such an A type personality so I was getting concerned. I have to have everything planned to the T. Lol
@@cristallatus I’m similar to you in that I’m a huge planner. Don’t worry! Most people go into their MSW program unsure of exactly where to focus. Or many go in thinking they know, and then change their minds once they get exposed to more information (me! Haha).
How did you find your job, I’ve been searching google on macro jobs but can’t seem to find any. That could deal with my area but what are some key words I can look up? Thanks
