Preparing for a job interview can be overwhelming and nerve-racking. 4-H teens can get a head start on this endeavor by participating in a 4-H Public Presentation Interview. Youth must be at least 15 to sign up for the Interview Process.
During the Interview Process, 4-H teens will undergo a simulated interview for a job or college, and the resumé, cover letter, and application (written presentation) will be judged based on appearance and content and must be submitted ahead of the presentation.
The oral presentation will be the actual interview using questions selected from a set list. Afterward, the evaluator will review the youth’s evaluation sheet and provide positive feedback in a private consultation.
