How to Answer the Interview Question “What experience do you have in this field?”
Explanation of the Question:
For this interview question, you first need to read and understand the job specification, as this will tell you what experience the interviewer is looking for.
Your answer should relate your experience and achievements to that of the job role.
Often interviewees will talk about experiences that are not relevant to the job role, this will only lead to the employer becoming uninterested in you.
Example Interview Answer
“I have over 6 years of experience as a nursery nurse, in that time I have gained an NVQ Level 2 and 3 in child care.
I have worked with children of all ages including groups of children with disabilities. I understand the importance of “health and safety” and “every child matters” and use my creative skills to organise games and activities to teach young children new skills while keeping them entertained.
Recently I also won an award for employee of the year”
