Twin Valley South - MVCTC FFA Job Interview CDE

11/17/2017

On November 7th, four ambitious members of our chapter suited up in official dress and headed out to St. Mary's to compete in the District Job Interview CDE. These members were Tazia Blaylock, Ben Bittner, Chyann Kendal, and Kallen Pitz. This contest is designed to simulate a real world employee hiring process. The contestants have to apply for a job. These jobs can range from engineering to being a dog walker. They are to create a cover letter, resume, and fill out an application. Contestants also go through the interviewing process. They are judged on how they respond to questions, how they introduce themselves, and communication skills. Our members did extremely well in this competition. This was Ben, Tazia, and Kallens first time competing in the Job Interview CDE. Each member competed against 18 or more students in their grade level for who had the best cover letter, resume, employment application and personal interview. Ben placed 8th out of 18 students in the Freshman division, Kallen placed 9th out of 24 in the Sophomore student division, Tazia placed 9th in the Junior division out of 22 and Chyann placed 1st out of 23 students. Chyann will be advancing to the State Contest on Saturday, December 2nd to represent our district. Congratulations! We are super proud of you all. Keep up the good work.
