Many institutions hire Juvenile Correction Officers without previous experience, while others require a minimum number of years of experience. The interviewer asks this question to see if you have experience working in corrections or if they will need to send you to a training academy if hired.

If you have prior experience as a Juvenile Correction Officer, describe where you worked and for how many years. If you have not worked in corrections before, explain that while you have no prior experience, you are excited about attending a training academy and gaining experience with their institution.

As with any interview question, you should avoid being untruthful in your response. The interviewer will perform a background check on you and call references to determine your experience and qualifications. If you are caught being dishonest, the interviewer will disqualify you as a candidate.

"No, I do not have experience working as a Juvenile Correction Officer, and I look forward to gaining experience with your institution. I have experience working as a youth counselor for the past three years, but I have never worked in corrections."
