Many companies will hire Drywall Installers with a high school diploma or equivalent, while others have no educational requirements. However, some companies require a high school diploma and construction experience through an apprenticeship or vocational school. If you have been invited to the interview, you must meet the company's educational requirements. The interviewer wants to hear about any construction education, apprenticeship, or on-the-job training you have received to determine if you will be a good fit for the team and if you will require drywall training.

If you do not have an education in construction, tell the interviewer your education goals. Avoid saying that you do not like school or do not believe in obtaining an education, which shows your unwillingness to learn and better yourself.

"I have some education in construction. I took shop classes in high school and learned the fundamentals of building a home. Our final class project was to build a home for a family who lost theirs in a fire. I was taught all aspects of construction, from the foundation to the roof. I discovered my favorite aspect of building homes was drywall installation. After graduating high school, I was accepted into an apprenticeship program and obtained three years of training installing drywall."
