State Job Interview: Recently, our chapter sent five members to compete in the Job Interview District contest at Clear Fork Valley High School. Sara Sharp competed in the Freshmen division, where she placed 1st; Morgan Anderson competed in the Sophomore division, where she placed 1st; Allie Poston competed in the Junior division, where she placed 3rd; Ellie Sahr competed in the Senior division where she placed 1st; and Kiley Holbrook competed in the first year Junior/ Senior division where she placed 1st. In each division, only the first place individual advances to the state level, therefore Sara, Morgan, Ellie and Kiley will be traveling to OSU on December 1st to represent District 7 at the State Level! This contest requires students to write a cover letter and resume, fill out an application, go in for an interview, and then write a follow up letter. Congratulations to all of these members for their placing, and good luck to the members advancing to the state contest!
