Breanna Cooper-
Each year, the Hillsboro FFA Chapter participates in a job interview contest.

The Ohio Job Interview CDE is designed for FFA members to practice and demonstrate the skills needed in seeking employment in all areas of agriculture. Each part of this event simulates real-world experiences that students will have when seeking employment in the future.

The Hillsboro FFA chapter had a chapter runoff Monday, Oct. 31. Madison Carroll, Reagan Leeth, Grace Allen, Addyston Knauff, Carter Boyd, Emma Yochum, Madison Dearmon, Hannah Holland, Riley Collins, Abigail Rudy, Kathryn Ogden, Alexandra Crago, Breanna Cooper and Corbin Winkle all competed for a spot in the Sub District Contest.

Following the chapter runoff, sub-districts were held at Lynchburg-Clay High School on Wednesday, Nov. 2. Advancing on to the sub-district contest were Leeth, Allen, Knauff, Collins, Rudy, Alexandra Crago, Cooper, and Winkle. Moving on to districts were Winkle, Ogden, Leeth and Collins.

Districts were held at Fairfield High School on Nov. 9. Winkle placed first, Ogden placed second, Leeth placed third and Collins placed seventh.

State competition was on Nov. 19. Winkle competed virtually at state for the third time. Winkle qualified as one of the top 10 in our state in the sophomore division.

Winkle spent lots of time preparing for this competition, by updating his résumé and cover letter and working on his personal interview skills. He placed third in the state competition.

Congratulations to all who participated in this competition. The Hillsboro FFA Chapter is very proud of these individuals and their willingness to step out of their comfort zones.
