You should not tell the interviewer that you have never found a roofing job difficult, as it may indicate arrogance or cockiness. The interviewer wants to hear how you face challenging jobs and persevere through them, showing you have the determination to work through difficult situations.

"The most challenging roofing job I have worked on was three years ago when I worked on a three-story roof in Florida. We had a tight deadline because a tropical storm was headed our way. Every day, we had rain and thunderstorms and had to tarp the roof several times a day. Two days before we were to complete the job, the tropical storm turned into a hurricane and ripped the roof off overnight. That was the most challenging job in my career."
