The interviewer is trying to determine how well the job requirements align with your experience and natural skills. This answer can be a simple one based on the company's job description. If you lack work experience, try to lean on the characteristics that will make you a reliable Electrician's Apprentice.

"In your job posting, you said you were looking for an apprentice with some experience and the right attitude. Not only do I bring the classroom training required, but I also bring a refreshing go-getter attitude. I think, based on your preferences, that I would be a solid addition to your team."

"For the past three months, I have helped a Journeyman Electrician who has familiarized me with many aspects of electrical work. I am eager to learn more in this apprentice position."

"Unfortunately, I do not have a formal qualification for this job but I do have experience working on construction sites. I feel this is invaluable as I am familiar with the health and safety protocols in this line of work. With my previous experience in other fields, I now carry with me a drive to complete an apprenticeship and gain the best education I possibly can in this field."

I'd recommend starting with the positive. Although you don't have formal qualifications, you have a good experience that you should talk about first. I've written an example below to give you a start:

"I have both practical experience working in and around construction sites, and informal experience handling residential electrical work. More importantly, for an apprentice position, I have a keen desire to learn and a commitment to making electrical work my career. I am a quick study and a good student and I will take full advantage of the education and experience you offer."
