Career Diary of a Social Worker: Thirty Days Behind the Scenes with a Professional, by Diana R. Hoover

Are you thinking about a career in social work? Or are you a social work student that wants an honest, uncensored view of what any given day is really like for a social worker? Or are you just a curious reader that wants to learn more about a challenging, exciting field? If you are any of these things, then check out Career Diary of a Social Worker by Diana R. Hoover.

Hoover, a social worker in Ohio, provides a day by day diary where she honestly describes the ups and downs to her work of being a social worker for Children’s Protective Services. Even if you are not interested in social work, you can learn and find inspiration in Diana’s diary.
