Questions

I'm in the final stages of an interview for a regional manager position. I've done everything right but their concern is that I'm young in age and lack executive experience. They told me to wait for a week while they scan other candidates, and If they can't find someone with +5 years of experience they would take a chance on me. What should I do during this week to prove I'm up to the managerial position?

Nothing much, just prepare yourself for the question: ‘Why are you best candidate for the position?’
This question will be asked to you, as an HR myself I have asked this question several times to several candidates. Employers create a job opportunity or role within their company, to indicate that they are looking for someone who can solve a particular problem. As such, most hiring managers use a variety of questions to determine if a candidate is the best fit to solve that problem. Every new hire can pose a risk for the company and the hiring manager as well.
Therefore, the hiring manager must ensure that the candidate selected is not a liability but an asset for the company. Well, the main aim is to ensure that the company gets the best candidate for the job. The company is looking for an above average candidate, the most qualified among all the applicants. Therefore, the interviewer wants to know why it would be better to hire you and not any other candidate and assess that you as the candidate are aware of what the company is looking for.
Use the information on the job description to understand the role expectations, the skill sets, and how they align to your career goals. In such cases, your objective is to prove to the hiring manager why you are a valuable candidate for the job. Therefore, when making your pitch illustrate what you have to offer the company and how it will be relevant to the role.
To start, thoroughly go through the job description to understand what the company is looking for, precisely. Re-examine your resume, your past experiences and your skills set. In the final step, review how your qualifications make you the best candidate for the role and tailor an answer that illustrates this aspect based on the steps above. Highlight specific traits in your personality or relevant skills that make you the best candidate for the role.
In most work environments, you are expected to establish a certain relationship with your colleagues to facilitate the workflow, in this case, your education or experience don’t apply, your traits determine how you’ll interact with others and create an efficient working environment. Personality plays a vital role in the job performance of everyone. However, not every personality trait is relevant to the job. Therefore, it is important that you know the relevant personality type and how it will help you achieve the duties of the role.
If it can contribute to your success in the role, mention the specific traits and skills that are unique to you and will make you succeed. I look forward to contributing my skills and experiences to your organization if given the opportunity. I am confident that I will thrive in this position, seeing that I have all the skills that you are looking for. Apart from my impeccable track record as the leading sales and marketing agent in the district, my flawless communication and interpersonal skills are precisely what your company needs to achieve its marketing advantage.
