It is critical that you study the job description before your interview. When the interviewer asks this question, and you have relevant experience, highlight the related experience that you bring. If you are new to your career, and don't yet have field experience, that's okay. As one of IBM's recruiters advises, "Dare to recognize that if you don't have enough knowledge on a particular topic. Talk about how you have a growth mindset and a willingness to learn." And another of IBM's recruiters suggests that you "demonstrate your interest and explore more details about the challenges of the role, like technologies, clients, etc."

"Having just graduated from university, I don't yet have any service related experience, as the experience I do have is limited to a classroom setting and is purely theoretical. However, I would gladly jump at the opportunity to get some real world experience under my belt."
