An Evaluation of the Virginia 4-H Job Interview Manual

Abstract

The purpose of this evaluation was to examine the Virginia 4-H job interview contest manual and the current information on running the job interview contest. The evaluation looked at what works in the contest and what needs to be changed when the contest is offered again. Additional activities were created to help the contest fit the need of the county and anyone who would potentially offer the Virginia 4-H job interview contest. In the second offering of this contest, 70 youth in Lunenburg County, Virginia participated in the contest to aid this evaluation of the job interview contest. Youth participated in four days of lessons to prepare them for the contest and two days of interviews with a panel of judges. After the contest was completed, the contest as a whole was evaluated to see what changes need to be made when the job interview contest is offered again in Lunenburg County and other 4-H programs across the state of Virginia.
