To many employers, the number of years of 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 is the time to sell yourself. Make no apologies for your lack of years!

"Although I have five years of experience vs the desired eight years, I can absolutely 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 have all of these qualities and more."
"Along with my five years of 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."

The interviewer is asking what you've experienced throughout your career that makes you the right fit for the job. Despite not having the required number of years under your belt, what have you accomplished, earned, or worked towards that can serve as validation for your wealth of knowledge and experience in the field.

I can absolutely do this job well. In my previous roles, I was outperforming colleagues who had a lot more years of experience than I had. To me, it's all about drive and the ability to learn and adapt quickly.
Jaymie's Feedback
Your confidence is very reassuring in your response. If possible, speak in greater detail about specific goals or metrics that you exceeded, as providing that type of measurable data will paint a clear picture of your abilities and will have a stronger impact on the interviewer.
