QUESTION 25 OF 35

We are asking for 8 years of industry experience and you have just 5. Why do you think you are qualified for this position?

To many companies, the sum of years' experience is flexible - so long as you have the results to show for the years that you do have. Talk to the interviewer about your major career successes, attesting to your experience, and how it translates to the relevant experience they are looking for in their ideal candidate.

"Although I have five years' experience vs. eight years' experience I can do this job well. In my previous role, I was outperforming colleagues who had 12 years of experience. To me, it's all about drive and ability to be a quick study. I have all of these qualities and more."

"Along with my five years working in this industry, I have worked near it my entire career, and I hope that my graduate degree gives me a little boost in experience over the required undergraduate degree."
