Sumeya,
It is important you understand the position, what they require and what the position is measured by (metrics). The more you show them you fit the position as far as skills and then hard facts/numbers about things you have accomplished in the past that match what they are looking for. W/o the position description I of can not give you examples, but dig deep into the position the department, the division, and the company. It all depends upon how big the company is. You need to know what the vision, mission and purpose of the company and if the department has their own to keep up with corporate know and understand those. Understand your accomplishment so you can tell them in a story format, share the facts in a way they can follow and then follow up with questions. Good luck. Ask for feedback if you have time. Tell them you are new at interviewing and would like some assistance. Thank you for your service. God Bless.
