How do you present yourself in an interview when... [View all]

...you are slightly under-qualified? Here's my situation.

I'm still looking for that life-changing opportunity. I was one of the final candidates for a great position recently, but they selected someone else.

Amazingly, another wonderful opportunity has presented itself, but...

They want an Masters, I only have a BA.

I would be responsible for about ten times as much annual revenue than I have ever raised annually in any past organization.

I would be heading a larger department and supervising more staff than I have in the past.

They know all these things about me and asked to see me anyway.

I know I can succeed in this position. I really want to be as prepared as possible for this interview.
