QUESTION 28 OF 35

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

To 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 question is the time to sell yourself. Make no apologies for your lack of years!

"Although I have five years' experience instead of eight, I can do this job well. In my previous role, I outperformed colleagues with 12 years of experience. To me, it's all about drive and the 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 in related industries my entire career. Also, I hope that my graduate degree gives me a little boost in experience over the required undergraduate degree."
