Think back to the times when you were racing others to achieve the best sales, working towards a promotion, eagerly trying to win a new contract or other situations that pushed you to rise above your peers.
Be sure to tell the interviewer that you rose to the challenge and were excited to see what you could achieve! Tell the interviewer about how you kept yourself calm while pushing yourself to be the best. It is a definite plus if you have cheered on your competitors and helped them along the way. Finally, be sure to mention your successful outcome.

"My last position was a sales position, and highly commissioned. We had a great work environment where we helped each other and built each other up. The result was a positive work environment, and I enjoyed coming to work each day."

"In my previous position, I worked with some very competitive individuals who were bordering the point of aggression. I can be as competitive as the next person; however, this was next level. I made the best of the situation by keeping my head in the game, remaining focused, and tuning out the unpleasantness of their competitive grind. In the end, I exceeded my targets at 105% to goal. I was happy with my results and the fact that I kept my integrity in place, at the same time."
