I want to get a social work job in California. I am not sure what's the best to get started in the SF Bay Area. I got master's degree in social work in Japan and then got a teaching job at vocational school (college level) and taught for two years. And I have several volunteer/intern experiences at nonprofit organizations in Japan and in the U.S.
I am interested in social work for domestic violence survivors like shelters, hospitals etc. So, I'm wondering how I could get involved in working in the field.
Do I need schooling in the U.S.? If so, what kind of classes do I have to take? Do I have to go to graduate school one more time in the U.S. to get American MSW degree? And do I need advanced English (ESL) certificates, or adult class work to get a job?
I will have my green card sometime soon then will move to the U.S. to live with my husband and will be able to work legally. I know it would be challenging but would be very nice to know what I need to go forward.
