How well do you take instructions?
"I take instructions very well and am a good listener. I believe in obeying the rules and following instructions, doing my best at all times. Also, once I have gained instruction on a task, I never forget it."
Answer this question with an example of a time you were given explicit or more complicated instructions and implemented the steps correctly. The interviewer will be looking for an example of your ability to take instructions and apply them correctly.
"I take instructions very well. Being an apprentice, I swap between classroom training and on-the-job training. I take instructions well in both settings. Recently, I was given instructions for a more complicated job site. Even though some of the instructions were very simple, I was happy that my supervisor walked me through it so thoroughly to ensure that I understood before leaving me to it on my own."
