Share with Us Your Greatest Achievement

Employers love to ask about your most significant professional achievement or accomplishment, and they expect a detailed example or story in the job interview, so be prepared. A behavioral interview question is, "What is your greatest achievement or accomplishment?"

Consider your background as well as the job description for the role you're interviewing for when selecting an answer to share. The best responses to this interview question will demonstrate to the hiring manager that your greatest accomplishment is both impressive and relevant to the needs of their team.

This is a common general question asked by interviewers in order to learn more about you and gauge your attitude toward success. Your major accomplishments will demonstrate some of the values you hold dear in your professional or personal life. You can discuss an experience or an award that means a lot to you.
