The interviewer wants to hear about your background to determine if you have the knowledge and expertise they are looking for in an Electrical Inspector. The interviewer can read your resume, but they want to hear what journey you took to pursue this career. Describe any relevant schooling, apprenticeships, licensing, and certifications you have that qualify you to work in this field.

Avoid reading your resume verbatim or not being truthful when describing your background. It is best to summarize your experience from when you started pursuing your career to where you are now.

"I started working as an Electrician Apprentice after completing an electrical vocation program and apprenticed for three years. I then became a licensed Electrician and spent five years working on residential and commercial buildings. I obtained my Electrical Inspector's license through the International Association of Electrical Inspectors two years ago and have worked as an Electrical Inspector for the Clark County Building Department since then."
