, Interview Scenario
You are a consultant psychologist who has been invited by an Umhlanga Growth and
Development Centre (GDC) to help in the hiring of a Senior Social Worker. The board
members have narrowed down their prospects and have requested that an interview
questionnaire be provided in order to evaluate the applicants in terms of the particular
requirements for the post.
The GDC is a non-profit organization that provides excellent programs to help
disadvantaged kids. Their primary goal and aim is to remove the difficulties and restrictions
that impede children from discovering and shining their light. The GDC is searching for a
responsible worker who is willing to work in accordance with the GDC's principles and goals.
This role necessitates more than just the required skills and expertise; it necessitates an
understanding of and a genuine desire to aid the community. They will be expected to
evaluate children, youth, and families both as people and as members of a wider system.
The Senior Social Worker will need to operate in the homes of families in order to build and

The interview questions will be based on two personality theories, the Ecosystemic
Approach and the Eastern Perspective, to best determine applicants' fit for this role and
evaluate their ability to function in a broader system. The Ecosystemic Approach's
Importance Individuals who help people in need identify social work as a way to effect social
change, empower and free others, and improve well-being. They provide services in a wide
range of disciplines, including community development, youth programs, and family
welfare, and they intervene where people connect with the environment.
The ecosystemic approach

network. According to the ecosystemic approach, an individual is operating optimally when
