If the interviewer asks if you have experience drywalling older homes, it is most likely a service their company offers. If renovation experience is preferred or required for the job, it should have been in the job description, and you would be aware of that requirement before the interview. If you have experience drywalling older homes, describe your experience. If you do not have experience with older homes, explain that you are inexperienced with renovations but eager and willing to learn.

Avoid saying that you do not have experience drywalling older homes and you have no interest in doing so. Steer away from saying you do have experience in renovations, but you do not like performing the work. The interviewer wants to hear that you are interested in or have experience with renovations, not that you are uninterested in or dislike doing them.

"I do have some experience drywalling older homes during renovations. I have helped renovate three older homes as a drywall apprentice and learned a lot about older construction. I was excited to see how construction was years ago and satisfied to see an older home look new again."
