Your interviewer is interested in hearing where you feel your experience has gotten you. If you see yourself as ahead of the pack, explain why. If you were promoted ahead of your peers, go into detail about this. What you put down on paper caught their attention. Now that you are face to face, it's time to drive that message home.

"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 the ability to be a quick study. I possess these qualities and more."

For many employers, the number of years' experience is flexible as 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 is the time to sell yourself. Make no apologies for your lack of years!

Focus on what you perceive to be the advantage of eight years of experience in your field over five. Break that down, and compare and contrast yourself to that example. If you can demonstrate a deeper understanding of that, you may more efficiently demonstrate yourself as a desirable fit.
