What would you consider your greatest work-related accomplishment?
Your interviewer is offering you an opportunity to advertise your merits. Sharing something you consider a particular mark of pride will provide your interviewer an idea of what you have to offer their company and a glimpse into your values and work ethic. They even offer some interview advice on their website to this effect: "If there's an accomplishment that you're proud of, we want to hear about it." They state that they want your interview to be a "great experience. We enable you to learn as much about Cerner as we learn all about you and what you have to offer. We want you to come away feeling good about yourself and about us."
"The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating from University as an honors student while working full-time in a related field. I was at the 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."
"I have many accomplishments that make me proud. Overall, I would say that my greatest work accomplishment is my positive reputation in the healthcare industry. I take great pride in my work and am happy that this comes through in the results of my day-to-day work."

The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating from University as an honors student while still working part-time in a related field and completed my thesis.

I was able to speak at a national conference and lead a hands-on session. The session I led was about cultivating partnerships and using them to grow programs. It was a very big accomplishment and a way to share some of the ways I saw measurable success in many of our programs.

This speaking engagement/presentation sounds like a wonderful career accomplishment - you should be proud! Did this experience lend any new skills or areas of confidence that will benefit Cerner, should they choose to hire you?
