Many companies will hire Drywall Installers with a high school diploma or equivalent and provide on-the-job training for those who do not have experience. However, some companies require construction experience through an apprenticeship or vocational school. If you have been invited to the interview, you must meet the company's work experience requirements. The interviewer wants to hear about any construction experience, 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 additional drywall training.

Avoid giving a short answer without an explanation, such as 'I have three years of experience in construction' or 'I do not have construction experience.' The interviewer wants you to elaborate on your construction experience, giving examples of where you gained your knowledge.

"I have a total of seven years of construction experience. I have worked as a framer, roofer, painter, and recently as a drywall installer apprentice. I was unsure what part of construction I would like to work in, so I tried several different jobs to see what I liked the most. I have discovered installing drywall is the part of construction I enjoy the most and am the best at."
