Being A Social Work Researcher | MACRO SOCIAL WORK JOBS SERIES

Hello you all! I am a Macro Social Worker and Career Coach. I want to start a series where I discuss different career options available for macro social workers. This is the 5th video of the series! In this video, I discuss the field of Social Research, explain the average pay, daily tasks, skills needed, etc. I don't know everything about this field, but I do hope to give you a basic understanding that you can build from and continue your research around!

My first research job was at the Research Institute on Addictions, which is now part of my alma mater, The University at Buffalo. My second research job was with the Nathan Kline Institute and the Manhattan Psychiatric Center

My first job as a BSW was a research student for Loma Linda University School of Social Work and Social Ecology. It’s an amazing position to learn how to evaluate data and recommend ways to improve services based on results I found. 👏 Great Video!

I already read those kinds of reports anyway! (that’s available to the public) That’s what got me thinking that I’d like to work in social work, so I did some research and found your videos. It wasn’t until recently that I found out that there’s a way to still work in the social work field without having to take on a carer role and that’s social work research!

Super happy I found this! I’m a sociology major and I want to get into a research job/ internship. My plan is for my senior yr I want to a get research internship. Get a research job THEN get my masters. However I don’t see a lot of internships

Have you all ever considered a career in Social Research? Or are you currently doing it now? Let me know!

[nekojtamu]

Wow you’re so good with speaking about these things, my attention has never been more directed to listening someone speak. You make it sound so fun it’s obvious you love what you do!

Great topic! I have experience working part time as a research assistant while I was an MSW student and full time as a research associate after I got my MSW. Both were very rich experiences that helped me in my clinical practice even to this day.

Thanks to your short and comprehensive explanation of the importance of social research in SW profession. This one is good enough for my students to revise and prepare for assignments visually.

I was surprised at how helpful research professors were at my university, they were enthusiastic about their work and wanted to help others also become researchers :)

Yes, I found my person😅;thank you for this series!

[christianaebeleonyela]

Pls can you do a video on how to write a report 🙏🙏🙏

[nyaliwoma]

What about if your program does not have a macro specialization?
Ho do you go about transitioning in macro practice? The program I am interested in is just general MSW.
Thanks for all you're doing .

[iimmannii]

Thank you for all your information - I found out about Macro Social Work not long ago and I am trying to figure out if that's something I wish to pursue!
Are there remote macro social work avenues?

[SM-dpdi]

I loved this video! I graduated with my MSW and I’m looking for research jobs, so this was very informative! Would it be possible for you to interview a social work research too or give any advice for people applying for research jobs?

How do I enter in macro level work ?
My school/internship experience was hospital /direct work related . I’ll be graduating in 2 semesters and can’t change placements
