Varun's response is defensive and lacks the professionalism expected in an interview setting. Instead of providing a brief introduction and highlighting his qualifications, he questions the interviewer’s review of his CV, which could be perceived as confrontational. A more effective approach would involve confidently summarizing his experience and emphasizing unique skills or passions that add value to the role. For improvement, Varun could have responded with, "Thank you for the compliment! I have over 18 years of experience in digital marketing and eCommerce, focusing on digital transformation. One aspect not immediately visible from my CV is my commitment to continuous learning, which I pursue through webinars and writing articles on industry trends."
