The interviewer wants to hear about your experience as a Roofer to see if you have the qualifications they are looking for. They want to determine if you have experience working on their types of projects or will need to be trained. If you are interviewing for a company that repairs roofs and you have never repaired roofs, the interviewer will see that you will need on-the-job training. Be sure to explain that even though you may not have experience performing specific types of roofing jobs, you are willing and eager to learn.

You should not tell the interviewer that you have never done one of the roofing jobs that the company offers as a service and that you have no desire to perform that type of work. If the roofing company works primarily on commercial buildings and you say you have not worked on that type of project and dislike that type of work, you will not be viewed as a strong candidate.

"I have never performed repair work on roofs. My experience as a Roofer has been installing new roofs. I realize your company primarily works on roof repairs, and I am excited to have the opportunity to learn new skills. Having an understanding of how roofs are installed will make the transition to repair work that much easier for me."
