QUESTION 6 OF 20

What was the most challenging piping installation job you have done?

Talk to the hiring manager about what you feel is the biggest challenge in this line of work. Be careful to not sound negative or complain about your current position.

"I feel that pipefitting is one of the most demanding physical trades. You could be working on equipment underneath piping, structural supports or vessels; and the next day you could be up and down on a 30 foot ladder. It's highly demanding work and not for the faint of heart."

Amanda's Feedback

As an apprentice applicant, it likely wouldn't be expected for you to have installed piping yet. However, the interviewer is trying to determine how you function in a difficult or challenging situation. You can wrap this answer up by talking about a challenging project or task you've completed. What made it difficult? What tools or strategies did you use to overcome the challenge? What was the positive outcome? Using an example in this way helps the interviewer see your potential for growth in the field.
