A power statement repeats the answers you have given and follows up with a close to get a decision. Here is an example.
"Jane I want to thank you so much for asking me about my qualifications. I know I will be tremendous in helping you here at company "X" by doing "Y" things in the position of "Z". Furthermore as I am very interested in the position I would like to followup with you early next week to see where you are with the hiring process."
What this statement does is clarify that you know what your talking about and how the job works. Also you restated your qualifications and offered a time to actively followup. In other words you took command of the interview and answered the questions confidently. Remember leaders lead by leading not by saying their leaders.
Answering those hard competency interview questions is great. But getting the job involves leading the interview by giving scenarios and or analogies. Then closing with a power statement of your qualifications, interest, and expressed followup.
Do this repeatedly and you will not be in the general population of unemployed for long.
