"This may sound cliche, but sitting in this interview with your right now stands as my greatest work-related accomplishment. As I've said, I set out my goals long ago when I drafted my first five-year career plan. Each time I met the goals I set out for myself in my plan, I had my greatest work-related accomplishment. Today, it's performing my best in an interview I set out for. Tomorrow might deliver a different accomplishment. We'll see."
