Meagan Smith.

On Dec, 7, Meagan Smith competed in the FFA Job Interview State competition and earned first place, which gives her the right to compete in the National Competition to be held in October in Louisville, Ky.  

Smith became eligible to compete in the state event after winning the Area 5 FFA Job Interview competition.

The FFA Job Interview Competition is designed for members to develop, practice, and demonstrate skills needed in seeking employment in the agricultural industry.  Each part of the event simulates “real world” activities that could be used by employers.  

Participants are asked to prepare a cover letter and resume for an agricultural-related job.  The students complete a written application, are interviewed by a panel of judges, and submit follow-up correspondence.  

The Job Interview Competition is one of the largest leadership events held by the FFA and the initial competition had more than 300 participants.  

Smith will represent the entire state of Georgia at the National competition.
