Woodworkers need to have the ability to read blueprints, as they are used daily in the profession. You need to read blueprints when building a house, making furniture, and building cabinets. The interviewer wants to see that you can read blueprints and will not have issues reading blueprints if hired. Describe your experience reading blueprints, and explain how you gained your knowledge.

Avoid saying you have experience reading blueprints if you do not. Reading blueprints can be tricky, and errors will occur if you do not understand how to read them. If you do not understand blueprints, tell the interviewer that you are not experienced reading them, but you are excited to learn. If you are not honest, the interviewer will find out when you make mistakes on the job if hired.

"Yes, I know how to read blueprints very well. I learned how to in an architectural drawing class I took in high school. My teacher taught me to read blueprints. My final project was to draw blueprints for my dream house. Drawing blueprints and understanding all of the nuances of reading them was an incredible experience."
