Interviews for mock jobs will be held during the State 4-H Field Day to help youth improve their job preparation and interviewing skills! Job seeking and interviewing are skills strengthened through practice and experience. As young people graduate high school and/or college, they will enter the workforce and start seeking employment. The California 4-H Youth Development Program can help youth strengthen their job seeking and interviewing skills through the use of planned evaluation activities. Interviews lead to skill building in confidence, critical thinking, forming concise and clear answers and building self-esteem. 4-H members will receive a certificate and a seal according to a standard evaluation (gold, blue, red, white).
State 4-H Judging ContestContact: Mary Ann Smith at 760-344-4048 or maryann.smith@imperial.edu
The objective of judging in the 4-H program is to help members grow in their ability to think, to reason, and to make logical and scientific judgments. Judging is making choices and decisions. Judging is an everyday activity. In 4-H, judging is essentially a matter of comparing four items. If 4-H members know what factors make up an ideal animal, plant, or situation, they are more able to recognize top quality products, to know good standards, and make wise decisions based on facts.
