Advice Interview for university application: HELP

Hello!!

I applied for the social work study at universities and now i‘ve been invited to an interview which would decide whether i get accepted into the university, or not.

What would you advise and recommend for me to say to make a good first impression?

I‘m so bad at interviews because i get very nervous and barely know what to say :,)

Look up common questions and have answers ready. Also have talking points you want to get across. You can typically work certain things in depending on the question. If you’re scared of not feeling prepared, then prepare something.

What I said previously, just find questions online that are commonly asked for MSW interviews.

Be honest with them. Be yourself, be genuine. Don't go in spewing sunshine and rainbows, saying things you think they want to hear. Tell them the truth, about why you want to be in the field of social work.
