On Oct. 11, the Hillsboro FFA Chapter hosted the Job Interview contest. This contest provides members with employment skills along with important speaking abilities.
Throughout the competition, members are asked to prepare a cover letter and résumé, which are later scored by numerous judges. Then, the judges will put them through a mock interview. Following the interview process, members are required to write a followup letter and address it.
One Hillsboro FFA member went above and beyond, that member being Corbin Winkle. He placed first during both the sub-district and district competition.
On Nov. 18th, Winkle interviewed virtually and placed first once again, moving him to the state finals. By doing this, he qualified for the state competition, where he would have to face off against each of the winners from the five divisions.
On Dec. 1, Winkle competed once more and received second place in the state. He will go on to represent the state of Ohio at the national level at the Big E in September.
The Hillsboro FFA Chapter is beyond proud of Winkle’s accomplishments and wishes him luck in his future endeavors.
