It is okay to brag a little when answering this question. Be proud, yet humble. Exhibit pride in your career accomplishments. Even if your example is on your resume, feel free to use it and explain why this accomplishment stands out. Explain everything that went into it, how this falls in line with the career milestones towards your goals, and why you regard it as a success in your personal development, aligning these accomplishments with the role you are contending for. If possible, present yourself as an innovator with a unique lens toward outside-of-the-box thinking.
