Tips for InterviewJudging
* Arrive at your interview early
* Dress nicely for the interview
* Greet your judge warmly with a
handshake
* Be ready to discuss positive
outcomes of your project, as well
as areas that didn’t turn out as
well as you expected.
* Prepare for your interview by
considering what you learned,
and what you would do
differently.
Some questions you may be asked:
* Why did you choose this
project?
* What did you enjoy most?
* What was the most difficult?
* What did you learn from the
problems you encountered?
What will you do differently?
* Who helped you with the
project?
*What new things did you learn?
* How will you apply what you’ve
learned?
* Do you plan to continue the
project next year?
Livestock interviewers may ask questions appropriate to your level,about:
* Feed records
* Break even price
* Animal health and care,
medications
* Animals knowledge about
breeds, anatomy
* Feed knowledge
* Meat products
* Marketing
** This list doesn’t include every
question that may be asked by your
interviewer, but is meant to give you
an idea about areas you should be
ready to discuss.
