QUESTION 9 OF 20

What do you dislike about being a pipefitter?

If you had the ability to change anything about your career as a pipefitter, what would you change? It's best to not turn the conversation into a negative tone, or to complain about your current employer. Choose to answer in a way that your 'dislike' is not something that is crippling to your success in this position.

"If I could change anything about being a pipefitter, I would ask that vocational schools focus on it a bit more when it comes to the options that they offer. More people are aware that they can be a plumber, or a welder, for example. Pipefitting seems to take a back seat in the sense of trade school options."

Anonymous Answer

I am not a pipefitter. I would like to obtain an apprenticeship.

Amanda's Feedback

If you're just starting out as an apprentice and the interviewer is aware that you don't have previous experience in the industry, it's unlikely that he or she would ask what you dislike about the position. However, if this question were asked you could pivot away from your lack of experience by talking about how excited you feel to enter the field and learn as an apprentice.
