Think of three words that your former supervisor would use to describe you that fit the qualities the company is looking for in their ideal candidate. Review the job announcement to find the traits that this company desires in a Drywall Installer. Suppose the job announcement says they are looking for a dedicated, honest, and dependable Drywall Installer with 3 years of experience who takes pride in their work while providing excellent customer service. You would then take three of those descriptive words and use them in your response, and give an example of each. If you are unsure how your former supervisor would describe you, review any letter of recommendations or performance reviews to find the words your supervisor used to describe you.

Avoid using words that would not be a quality or trait that would benefit the company. For example, you might be known for joking around and being comical on the job. If you use jokester, comedian, or class clown as one of the three words, the interviewer might think that you are unprofessional and not take you seriously. Only use professional-sounding words in your reply.

"My former supervisor gave me a letter of recommendation when I left, and three words he used to describe me were dependable, honest, and experienced. My supervisor said he could depend on me to show up to work every day on time, he trusted me with his tools and clients, and he could trust me on his toughest jobs because of my ten years of experience."
