Job Interview

Nail the interview for the agricultural job of your dreams.

The National FFA Job Interview Career Development Event is designed for FFA 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 will be used by real world employers. Students submit a resume and cover letter and also complete a telephone call, interview, and follow-up activity.
