1) Why do you want to work with our construction team?

Answer Example:
"I want to work with your construction team because your company values your team members and offers room for advancement. Your team is recognized as the best in the region, and I want to learn and grow with your company. I am fairly new to construction and want to excel in this field. I know working with your team will offer me that possibility."

2) What is your specialty in construction?

Answer Example:
"I have worked in many different aspects of construction, such as framing, carpentry, masonry, installing insulation, and painting. Out of all the different jobs I have performed, I feel that hanging drywall is my specialty."

3) What do you dislike the most about working in construction?

Answer Example:
“What I dislike the most about working in construction is getting laid off during the winter. I enjoy physical labor and do not like having to take three or four months off. When I am laid off from a job during the winter, I go to the gym and build furniture in my workshop. But, I always enjoy when winter is over, and I get back to work."

4) Do you take criticism well?

Answer Example:
"Yes, I do take criticism well. I look at criticism as feedback on how I can improve. If someone criticizes my work, I want to learn how I can do a better job. I would rather be criticized and improve my weaknesses than produce mediocre work."

5) If I ask you to do something in a way you are not used to, how would you handle this?

Answer Example:
"If you asked me to do something in a way that was unfamiliar to me, I would tell you that I do not understand your method and ask you to show me what you would like done. Once I am shown your method, I will know how to do it in the future and will not need further clarification.”
