# How to Land Interview Answers Impactfully

I found it challenging to end interview answers with impact.

It would often lead me to:

A. End abruptly

B. Continue making points and **ramble**

That dented the perception the interviewer had of me.

I see this from my mentees during mock interviews as well.

Surprisingly, I've noticed that having more work experience is counterintuitive because you have more to share.

So, I tested many techniques, and these are 5 that work splendidly.

1. Share how you match with the role and company by giving specifics: _"I know that you're looking for X skills and Y qualifications, and based on the experience I shared with you, I think we are the right fit for each other."_
2. Share what you learned from the situation: _"What I learned from this situation is X, and I've implemented that in my career since then."_
3. Showcase something counterintuitive: _"This situation taught me how top performers operate differently by doing X."_
4. Display you can implement feedback: _"My takeaway from the feedback I got is that I have to lead before it becomes part of my official responsibility, and this was an example of that."_
5. Share how this situation helped you realize that you must learn to influence without authority: _"It showed me the importance of prioritization frameworks so that we could develop consensus amongst key stakeholders."_

**Lastly, know when to be silent.**

Embrace the quiet once you've delivered an impactful ending.

Give the interviewer time to ask follow-ups or move on.

Test it, and you will see an improvement right away.
