The interviewer will ask about past employers to understand your work history and your industry experience. If you have worked in construction, only talk about past employers in the industry. You should also mention how long you worked for each company, even though the interviewer didn't specifically ask.

If you have worked in construction, avoid mentioning any unrelated employers. For example, if you worked for five years as a construction worker and three years as a barista, you do not need to mention your barista experience. The employer is interested in the industry-specific work you have done. If you are new to installing drywall and have not worked in construction, you can mention your barista experience. After mentioning your barista employer, explain how that job prepared you for working in construction by teaching you to work on a team and provide excellent customer service. Those are qualities the interviewer is looking for in a Drywall Installer.

"While in high school, I worked for two summers with Granite Construction as a drywall apprentice. After graduating, I worked full-time for Granite for two years before moving out of state. I then worked for three years with Mulberry Custom Homes as a Drywall Installer."
