I haven't had a ton of interviews but one thing I always have done at some point is told the interviewer that I am "a great fit" for this position/company. Not in an obnoxious way just in a very matter of fact manner. Sort of like a "well, of course you called me in for an interview, I can't imagine a better fit now that I've researched the company/position a little more". It gives you a chance to talk a little about the company that hopefully you've researched and now has the interviewer, however briefly, picturing you amongst the ranks. There is an acronym that I use for these situations - FIFO - fit in or #### off. I use it often when it comes to personnel. It is counter intuitive to the idea that you should "stand out" as a candidate. Of course you want to stand out but, in my experience, they want someone that can handle the job, blend in with the culture and not make waves. Be that guy/gal in the interview.
