Since you have made it to the interview, you must have the experience the company requires to apply for the job. The interviewer can see your experience on your resume, but they want to hear you speak about your experience. You may have some experience you did not put on your resume, and you should include that in your answer. For example, you may have grown up around drywall if a relative was in the industry, and you might have learned about drywall from them. If so, include that experience in your response, and give an example of how you gained your experience.

Review your resume before your interview, and make sure your answer matches your resume. If your resume shows you have seven years of experience, don't state that you have nine years of experience. You want to avoid giving a short answer like 'I have seven years of experience in drywall.' Instead, you elaborate and explain where you gained your seven years of experience.

"I have seven years of experience working with drywall, but I have been exposed to the industry since I was four years old. My father was a General Contractor and would take me to work with him. When I was 14 years old, I hung my first sheet of sheetrock. After graduating high school, I started working with a Drywall Contractor and have been there for seven years. He is retiring, so that is why I am interviewing with your company."
