When addressing the often asked “what do you do?” or “tell me about yourself” question social work professionals often answer by providing a job title. This leaves the listener to make assumptions about the work, the results and the social worker. The resulting response is full of meaningless “so sorry for you epithets.” Change the conversation by using a method that leaves no questions unanswered. Connect with me to find out how.
I help social workers and other professionals to “get through the day without losing it.” I would love to hear from you. You may join the conversation by commenting on this post on our Facebook fan page REAL Social Workers Online Magazine, joining the “Social” Social Workers Project or connecting with me on LinkedIn.

Considering many people do not know what social workers are, I agree that titles do not sum up all of your accomplishments. However, to explain everything that one does in the course of a day in one work is challenging. I am not sure what a one word answer would be.
