There might be many aspects of drywalling that you dislike, but you should answer in a way that shows you can work past what you dislike to complete your work successfully. You may dislike how unstable the industry is due to weather or the economy. Or you may be frustrated when projects are held up due to unforeseen circumstances or when change orders are made after your work is completed and you have to redo a portion of the drywall. Give an example of what you dislike about working in the drywall industry and explain how you overcome this issue.

You should avoid giving an answer that shows you would be challenging to work with or have a negative attitude. For example, avoid saying that you dislike working with customers. You should also not tell the interviewer that you do not like when a specific crew does not complete their portion of the build on time or when your supervisor micromanages you.

"I dislike the uncertainty of the job market in this industry. I like to work full-time, and when I get laid off when there is no work, I am uncertain when I will be hired back on for the next project. To stay busy during those down times, I have a small landscaping business that keeps me busy until the next drywall project, but it does not interfere with my full-time job."
