Suppose you were applying for a job as a school social worker. How would you respond to these questions during the interview:

• Many of those we serve/work with represent a range of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. To what degree do you think that you will be able to form positive relationships with those who are culturally different from you?
• How do you think your own acculturation will influence the way you serve/work with ethnically and culturally diverse individuals?
• Can you think of any factors that might get in the way of forming trusting relationships with those who are culturally different from you?
