I believe I'm one of the better candidates. Throughout my whole college career, I made it a point to exceed my targets, when I work on something, especially something that my heart is set on, I do everything I can to ensure that it is done correctly and above expectations. I have the drive and ambition to go places in this industry. I just need a foot in the door. This is something I'm extremely passionate about. Although I lack experience, I make up for it in ambition and tenacity. I'm overall extremely happy I got the opportunity to get an interview, I just hope you feel the same and allow me to continue this journey.

I can sense that you're very goal-oriented. You can enhance your answer by using specific examples. What target or expectation did your dedication and tenacity enable you to exceed during your collegiate career? You could choose to focus on top grades in a specific class, your cumulative GPA, an award-winning project, etc.
Prepare for technical questions about sampling protocols, regulations, and environmental assessments.
