Reflective Essay On A Final Interview

It is always a pleasure to look back on my work throughout the semester and notice certain changes. There are things from interview four that I never did in interview one. This final interview seem to me my best one in my opinion. Focusing on my checklist, I gave my client tremendous feedback, dialogue, and summarizing her feelings. Through this interview I literally hit the ups and down of her emotions. I started with talking to my client about her positive transition into Mosaic living faculty. The feedback I got from her made me very excited to know that she had met two great people. One of which of the people was a great help to her. The lady at the place named Emily, helped cook, picked her clothes out, and was a good support to her. The

SOLER is always concision of from the beginning, so my ratings remain constant throughout all four interviews. I go into my interviews confident, knowing that each session me and my client would experience different emotional levels but always by the end get through the session with a solution or at least an idea of what direction to move towards.

If I had to find a challenge it would be the time constraint. This was my first time talking to a client and having to speed up or close up the conversation so I could move on to the next topic before running out of time.

I would also have asked her what’s the things she plan on saving her money for or items that she might wanted now to buy. I would also went more in depth with the family counseling asking her what did the counselor say and what where some of her responses but, I had to wrap the session the up. What I could say I did was the closing of my session, I felt like the way I ended my last session was perfect and on key. I told her options moving forward. I summarized all the great things she had accomplished throughout her time with me. I finally closed it up with if she need anything to do not hesitate to call the office but she had successfully completing all her objectives and I wished her the best moving forward with her
