The best way to respond is to describe your responsibilities in detail and to connect them to the job you are interviewing for. This means that prior to your interview, you should carefully review the job description for the new position.

Then, tie your responsibilities at your current or previous positions in with those listed in that job description. By doing this, the employer will see that you have the qualifications necessary to do the job.

Focus most on your responsibilities that are directly related to the new job's requirements. For instance, if you are interviewing for a role that requires management skills, emphasize projects you've led, events you've planned, and people you've managed.

Be descriptive and engaging in your summary of responsibilities — most likely, the interviewer has a copy of your resume available and is looking for you to go beyond the information listed on that document.

 

However, avoid going too granular on the details: company-specific jargon can overwhelm an interviewer. It can be a difficult balance, but strive to give a thorough description of your responsibilities, and use different language from what's on your resume.
