The interviewer wants to hear how you heard about the position for several reasons. Companies spend a lot of money advertising their job openings and want to see what methods work best. They also want to know if another employee referred you. Studies show that employees who work with their friends tend to be more reliable and productive in the workplace. If a friend or acquaintance referred you, be sure to name that person and how you know them.

Avoid saying that you cannot remember how you heard about the position. If you cannot remember, the interviewer may think you do not pay attention to detail or that you are forgetful, which are not good traits for a Roofer to possess. Try to remember how you heard about the job opening.

"I heard about the position at a career fair at my community college. I talked to one of the recruiters, Joe, who said you were looking for roofing apprentices, and he encouraged me to apply. I was looking to pursue a career in the construction industry, and roofing sounds like a job I would enjoy very much."
