The interviewer is trying to assess your work ethic, your career goals, and insights into your personality. Understanding how you define your successes will help them determine what motivates you and how you'd contribute to their department.

Answer the question outside of yourself. Focus on the larger circumference. Prior to your interview, put thought into how you'd define your more successful moments. Study the job posting and job description. Exude confidence and speak comfortably. Break down why the examples you provide were a success; short-term goals, long-term goals, and the big picture. Tell the interviewer how you view success through this lens, and how you aim to repeat those successes and be sure to mention the success you plan to bring to this position should they should offer you the role.

"I've helped countless individuals deal with some heavy issues they were encountering. I also helped launch a successful Suicide Awareness and Prevention Walkathon that branched into its own assistance helpline. They just celebrated their 5th anniversary. I am so glad to see how much troubled youth this has helped since it was founded. This work provided me with so many opportunities to help people. I'm proud of the impact I've had so far, but the work is never done, is it?"
