Sample interview questions: Can you provide an example of a crisis situation where you had to advocate for a client’s rights or access to services?
Sample answer:

To ensure their immediate safety, I collaborated with the local domestic violence hotline to arrange an emergency shelter placement and a safety plan. I accompanied them to the shelter, where I provided emotional support and ensured they had a safe environment.
