7. Do you have your own tools?
How to Answer
The job description should state whether or not having your own tools is a requirement of this job. If it is a requirement, the interviewer wants to see that you meet their requirement before hiring you for the job. If you do have tools, explain what tools you have. If you do not have tools, tell the interviewer, and ask what you need to purchase if hired.

Answer Example
"I do have some tools and am gradually adding more as I have the money. I have a skill saw, a toolbox with basic hand tools, a cordless drill, levels and squares, shovels and pickaxes, and a wheelbarrow. Are there other tools I would need to own if I were hired for the position?"
