Cardinal Health strives for innovation, accountability, and being driven to serve the great goal of healthcare, and any new team member should be focused on these values daily. This question of how you define success in your work gives your interviewer a chance to see if your definition of success matches these values.

"I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. On a personal level, the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, the targets that are set out for me as well as the professional development that I seek."

Tell the interviewer how you have envisioned success throughout your career while tying your answer to the success that you plan to bring to the team should you be offered the role. Some ideas are to emphasize desirable soft skills, such as teamwork, self-motivation, compassion for others, and leadership skills. Beyond the words that you speak, your interviewer will ultimately want to hear you talk with passion as you respond.

"I define success by meeting my goals, meeting or beating deadlines, and providing excellent work. I also define success as having colleagues that trust and respect me and ask advice when they have questions."

I define success as my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. On a personal level, the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, the targets that are set out for me as well as the professional development that I seek.

Marcie's Feedback

Great! Can you give an example or two of some goals you've set for yourself? Also, do you break down your goals into smaller, more achievable milestones? Adding more details will further strengthen your answer.

Anonymous Answer

In simple terms, did I add value to my position? That can be measured through successful project execution or even the growth of other team members who benefited from my mentorship. Am I happy with the results of my time spent on an objective? That is the greatest measurement of success because I am my greatest critic.

Jaymie's Feedback

This is an excellent way to define success!
