What is the proudest achievement on your resume?
The interviewer would like to know which career accomplishment you value the most. Talking about your most significant achievement will give the interviewer a definite idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future. It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments!

Since I was very young, I have been very passionate about computer science outreach activities as there is a stigma regarding pursuing computer science that one has to be extremely intelligent to pursue these degrees. Therefore, my proudest achievement is the outreach activity that I was a part of to help acquaint K12 students and teachers with the concepts of computer science.

This is a great response! I would add language that would transfer to the position you are applying for.
I have had a strong passion for Computer Science since I was very young. One common misconception or stigmas about the field is that you have to be extraordinarily intelligent to pursue a degree. Many people steer clear of Computer Science because it is viewed as unachievable. Therefore, my proudest achievement reflected on my resume is my outreach experience introducing K12 students and faculty to Computer Science concepts. It brought me so much professional and academic gratification to be in a training role. I consider myself a great public speaker and communicator, which I believe are vital skills for this position.

When I moved to London in 2016 and have landed on a regional corporate sales manager role, I didn't have any experience and any network in the market. Although it was challenging at the beginning, I was able to understand the market dynamics and data, develop new businesses and drive more than 800.000 room revenue to the region hotels in 2 years' time while building strong relationships with my team and clients. It has brought me so much professional & personal gratification to be in a sales and account management role. I consider myself a resilient person & a great relationship builder which I believe are important skills for this position.
