The interviewer is trying to assess your work ethic, your career goals, and insights into your personality. This will help them determine what motivates you and how you'd fit into the culture of their brand. How you answer will help them determine if you consider success to mean crossing daily items off your list or if you have your eye on the big picture and scale your sense of accomplishment on the incremental successes toward the ultimate goal. How you answer will also give them insight into what motivates your work environment.

Telling them what you think they want to hear will come across as disingenuous, and more often than not, can be spotted from a mile away. So speak from the heart. Effectively communicating how you weigh success in your interview could lead to being placed in a position more suited to your personality and skills. Break down what success means to you across all fronts; short-term goals, long-term goals, the big picture, and how you get there.
