UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SUMMER MBA RESUME DEADLINE: JANUARY 16, 1998 FIRST ROUND SUMMER ASSOCIATE INTERVIEW ON-CAMPUS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1998 FINAL ROUND SUMMER ASSOCIATE INTERVIEWS - CHICAGO OFFICE FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1998 UNDERGRADUATE RESUME DEADLINE: NoVEmBER 12, 1997 FIRST ROUND RESEARCH ASSOCIATE INTERVIEWS ON-CAMPUS FRIDAY, JANUARY16, 1998 FINAL ROUND RESEARCH ASSOCIATE INTERVIEWS - CHICAGO OFFICE FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1998 By Neal Lepsetz Daily Staff Reporter Adam Cohen and Lisa Burger, grad- uates of the University's Masters of Social Work program, have capitalized on a relatively open jobtmarket.s. They also have put themselves in a position to fulfill their aspirations of making an impact on peoples' lives. "You certainly don't do this for the bucks," Cohen said. "You want to make sure this is something you want to do." The Social Work master's degree, considered the preferred human-ser- vices degree nationally, opens doors and opportunities for those interested in the field. The University's Social Work program, ranked No. 1 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, boasts a 99-percent job acceptance rate from last year's graduates seeking employment. Cohen, who earned his master's degree from the University in 1994, works as a family therapist at SOS Community Services in Ann Arbor. He often aids families experiencing home- lessness, participates in individual ther- apy for members with chemical depen- dency problems and in designing chil- dren's after school activities. "There is a lot of crisis intervention because families in this program are dealing with a lot of crisis in their lives," Cohen said. For Cohen, a key to his field lies in empathy and recognizing how his per- sonal "baggage" can impede his judg- ment. "if you have a client who you think is being manipulative or resistant, you have to look at the possibility that they're pushing your buttons. that something from your own experience may be affecting your perception of the situation." Cohen said. A philosophy major from Binghamton School in New York, Cohen waited tables for a year before determining his career direction. His prior experiences as a camp counselor and as a college intern at a shelter for kids from abusive andneglectful homes helped in his decision to enter the University's Social Work program. Cohen said that while a bachelor's degree offers access to many entry- level jobs, the master's degree is a much greater asset in the social work field. "To get ahead, you really need a mas- ter's degree,' he said. "The question at the masters level is not whether you'll get a job, but what kind of job you'll get," said School of Social Work Assistant Director Tim Colenbeck. One of the best ways to find work once the student has earned the degree, recommends Burger, is through net- working. "You need to go and market yourself and network, getting your name out there so people are aware of what you have to offer," Burger said. Only about 30 percent of the school's graduate studets find jobs through newspaper ads. Most gain employment through direct contact with employers and identifying with as many people as possible, Colenbeck said. Students can access many willing sources through the program's alumni network. Burger, a 1995 Social Work grad, operates independently part-time as a geriatric care consultant. She often works to help the staff of long-term care facilities to meet the needs of its resi- MSW helps students tackle crises, social problems dents as well as helping to empower them within their living environment. Because of the growing geriatric population, Burger said her field is beginning to become a booming one. "I think the .challenging part is working with some for-profit agen- cies which in time become more con- cerned with making profit than with providing the best care possible for residents and their facilities," she said.
