PS Career Goals Statement (Essay) The Admission Committee considers your Career Goals Statement to be an essential part of your application. Other factors such as cumulative grade point average and social work related experience are also important, but who you are, why you wish to enter the social work profession, and how you write and think critically are major factors that committee members consider when reviewing your application. Respond openly and honestly to each section. The average statement length is approximately five pages; submissions exceeding seven pages are discouraged. Please double-space your statement, use a font size of no less than 10. The Career Goals Statement must be written solely by you (the applicant) without the use of an editor. (Computer grammar/spelling checks and self-editing are permitted.) A. Rationale Discuss the primary reasons for your desire to pursue your Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. B. Attributes and Liabilities Please identify your strengths, and briefly discuss any knowledge and/or skills that you might need to improve in order to successfully complete the requirements of GSSW’s MSW program. C. Employment and Volunteer Experience Please identify and briefly discuss the relationship between your previous employment and/or volunteer experiences and your decision to pursue an MSW.

D. Education Please discuss the relationship between your undergraduate education and your preparedness to complete GSSW’s MSW program. E. Life Experiences Discuss how your personal experiences have led you to a career in social work. Many people enter this field because of life experiences that have resulted in a desire to help others. Often these experiences can be transformed into passions and strengths that fuel one’s career or can impede one’s ability to develop professionally. Please include any relevant life experiences and the way in which you have dealt with them. Be advised that we are a strengths-based profession, and our interest is in seeing how these life experiences have influenced your decision to become a professional social worker. F. Social Work Values and Ethics Discuss how your personal values and experiences have prepared you to meet the ethical obligation of social workers to practice without discrimination and with respect, knowledge and skills related to clients’ age, class, color, culture, disability, ethnicity, family structure, gender, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation. How do your personal values relate to this ethical obligation? What are some experiences that you have had that demonstrate your willingness to fulfill this ethical obligation?

Taking even a single course requires that a transcript be provided. If your transcript is in a language other than English, you must have official English translations of the documents submitted to GSSW in addition to the original documents.
