-: Academically, I was a social work major.
So, I think social work is a big proponent in this job,
just being able to understand everybody's environment
that they grew up in.
Everybody grew up in a different environment,
everybody grew in a different structure,
in a different economic status,
so understanding that as well.
And also, minoring in multicultural education,
so, that helps me with interacting with the different
cultures, understanding that some cultures don't
like you to look directly in the eye,
some cultures don't like to have handshakes,
some cultures are big on pretty much spacing,
and body spacing, and personal space.
So understanding as well, more of a social worker
in a multicultural avenue,
and even business, understanding how to read a budget.
A lot of individuals struggle with reading budgets,
'cause they don't know what they're looking at.
So, even a finance class is big as well, and some type
of human services.
So, it comes with a lot of majors that can actually
help you prepare for this position.
Me, I'm big on personal experience,
and I'm big on voluntary experience.
I understand you can have a 4.0 GPA and be phenomenal
in class, but what are your real life skills when
interacting with it?
I'm big on, okay,
how do you understand people?
How do you deal with conflict?
Conflict resolution is extremely huge part of this job.
Because everybody interacts differently,
as far as communication.
So, I'm big on, okay, have you volunteered
somewhere in a community where
you're dealing with the demographic
that you're probably gonna work with?
