INTERVIEW DAY

Tips for Interview Judging

• 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 different.

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 en-countered? 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
• Animal knowledge about breeds, anatomy
• Feed knowledge
• Meat products
• Marketing

This list doesn’t include every question you may be asked by your interviewer, but is meant to give you an idea about areas you should be ready to discuss.
