What are the key skills, abilities, and personal qualities necessary to succeed in this type of work? |
All of the "people skills" that would go with counseling but also the business skills and assertiveness needed to make contacts and take care of the administrative responsibilities in running your own office. However, there are many social work jobs in government and private agencies where you can gain experience before starting your own practice. |
