Convince your interviewer that they want you to work there. Try to align your past education and experiences with the company's needs. Clearly state your value-add and how you can contribute to the company--both short and long-term.

"I've spent the past few years working in labs with leading chemists and engineers in the same industry that you operate in, so I won't need any extra time to learn the ins and outs of the industry. I also have experience being a part of a collaborative, team-oriented environment, which your company website says is a major part of the culture here. So that's another positive that I feel I'd bring to the team."
