Good math skills are an essential quality for woodworkers to have since math is used every day in this profession. Good math skills are needed when reading blueprints, calculating dimensions to order supplies, accurately measuring materials, planning projects, and calculating costs to ensure the project comes in under budget. Describe your math skills while explaining the importance of using these skills in the workplace. The interviewer wants to know that your math skills are sufficient to perform your job if hired.

Avoid telling the interviewer that you hate math or have below-average math skills. If the interviewer thinks you do not have sufficient math skills to perform your job well, they may hire someone else with better math skills. Even if your math skills could use improvement, describe your skills in a way that assures the interviewer you have decent enough math skills to perform your job.

I also understand the metric system and can take and calculate measurements in English and metric systems. I feel it is essential in this profession to have above-average math skills since math is used daily in the workplace."
