Talking about your most significant accomplishment will give the interviewer a firm idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future. It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments!

"The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating University as an honors student while still working full time in a related field. I was top of my class, and working full time. This success showed me that I could dedicate myself to my career, and reach the goals that I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and receive recognition for my dedication."

"My greatest career accomplishment occurred in my most recent role. I was the fastest promoted in the organization's history. I was not only proud of myself but also received accolades from the VP of Sales in front of the entire company, which was an extraordinary moment. I look forward to breaking records and exceeding expectations with Apple as well."

"I designed a world-first intelligent security system for _______ gas stations, and then I built it, learning at every step. At the time this was a difficult challenge. I had only limited experience in programming, image processing, web services, video processing, serial data from pumps, database design, software licensing, and software security. But with focus and a lot of hard work, I built a product that could find the person holding the pump nozzle and redirect the camera to get a headshot, then do the same for the number plate. Because of this project, I now hold a patent."
