Tips for internship interviews?

I interviewed and made it to the second round after the interviewer was VERY lax (dropping f-bombs and discussing things that didn’t pertain to the job nor the interview). After the second interview where I now felt relaxed due to the first I was told I was unprofessional. I was completely blindsided. I didn’t curse but I was open about what my goals were and that I wanted to work with female veterans due to my own experiences with MST. Idk…those are my goals. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I don't think telling someone you're not willing to work with colleagues of a certain gender is good in an interview setting. Perhaps keep that one to yourself and stick to the facts.

Working with female vets is an in demand area, and the fact people specialize in this area is exactly what some need. I used to intern in a location that provided housing, education, counseling, etc exclusively for female veterans.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Did you ever have any issues with your family questioning what you do and saying it wasn't a "real job" ? They think being a social worker is fluffy and I should have just become an "actual doctor or psychiatrist"
