QUESTION 22 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 employers, the number 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. This question presents an opportunity to sell yourself. Talk about ways that you gained the appropriate experience in other ways like junior roles where you worked on more senior projects, or project work you did in college. Make no apologies for your lack of years!

"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. In addition, my resume does not capture the senior-level projects I worked on during my internships in college and while in junior-level positions. I constantly strive to do more than my position requires so I can be ready for the next upward movement in my career."
