Students: please use the space below to provide additional information about yourself (beyond that indicated by your current resume, which must be attached or provided) that will assist the Office of Field Education in making the field placement assignment (attach additional sheets if needed):
“I will accept an assignment from the MSW program’s agency affiliates. I understand that I have a maximum of three (3) business days to arrange for an interview with the identified contact person once the placement possibility has been identified (though some agencies may request a shorter time period in which to schedule the interview). I understand that interviews for field placements are highly competitive; I will prepare for my interview as I would for a job interview, providing the interviewer or contact with a cover letter as needed and an updated resume in advance of the interview, researching the services of the agency, preparing relevant questions for the interview, and sending a thank you message following the conclusion of the interview. Before, during, and after the interview I will maintain professional decorum in all my interactions with agency representatives, including dressing professionally for the in-person interviews and any follow-up interviews. I understand that after two field placement assignments are made that do not result in a definitive placement, my name may be referred to the Field Placement Advisory Committee for determination of next steps in the field placement assignment process.”
