The interviewer asks this question to see what you consider a large job and your experience working on large projects. They want to know that you have the expertise they are looking for in a tile installer if hired. Describe the most significant project you have had and how the project turned out. If the company specializes in a specific type of tile installation and you have experience with the same kind of work, use that project in your response. For example, if the company specializes in slate patios and you have worked on the same, the interviewer will see that you are familiar with the type of work they perform.

You want to avoid saying that you have worked on a big tile job if you have not. The interviewer can call your previous employers and ask what type of work you have performed. Be honest and describe the largest tile job you have worked on, even if it won't seem significant to the interviewer. You can then tell them that even though you have not worked on large projects, you are looking forward to doing so.

"The largest tile job I have had was installing 6,000 square feet of slate on a pool deck and patio. The job initially started as half that size, but the homeowner was so happy with the work they decided to expand the project."
