Varun's response indicates a general comfort with the responsibilities of the IT Director role, which is positive. However, he again refers to the interviewer as "Ravi," which undermines his professionalism. Additionally, his response lacks depth and specificity compared to the benchmark response, which articulates confidence and directly connects his experience to the role's requirements. Varun could enhance his response by acknowledging the specific responsibilities mentioned and elaborating on how his experience aligns with them, such as, "Yes, Avi, I am very comfortable with those responsibilities. My experience over the past several years has equipped me well for this role, particularly in leading IT strategies and managing teams in the digital commerce space."
