Keep your goal in mind when you are in interviews. Your ultimate goal is to get a job offer. Even more important you are trying to win the right job offer. It's not important to impress the interviewer if the job does not match your skills, preferences, and needs. There's no need to feel bad when you don't receive the wrong job offer. It's important to know that the best possible outcome has happened for both parties. Therefore, it is important to be honest, balanced and brief. For example, if you are a wiz at Excel but still have a lot to learn about Powerpoint then say so. Quickly follow-up with but since I know that learning Powerpoint is a developmental oppotunity for me I have enrolled in a class.
