Recently, 5 Paulding FFA members headed to Carey High School for the District Job Interview CDE. They were able to compete at the district level after placing 1st or 2nd in the sub-district job interview contest at Kalida. Paulding had the following members compete: Paige Jones, Carter Manz, Caydence Rue, Jamy Hunt, and Jayln Klopfenstein. These members prepared a formal cover letter, created their own resume and gathered references. The students picked out a job position in which they wanted to apply for. The students then had to fill out a job application and have a formal interview and completed the contest by writing a follow-up letter. This contest prepares students for future job interviews as well as improving on their public speaking skills. The members did a great job at this competition with Freshman, Jalyn Klopfenstein finishing in 4th place, Sophomore Jamy Hunt in 3rd place, Junior Carter Manz in 6th place, Division 5 member Caydence Rue placing 4th and finally senior Paige Jones placing FIRST in the Sr Division. Great job representing the Paulding FFA Chapter and good luck to Paige Jones as she competes at the State Job Interview Contest in Columbus on December 4th!
