"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."

This question seeks to evaluate what you consider "putting your all in" and the level at which you're an overachiever. It serves to inform them of your goals and motivators. This enables them to contrast you against the other applicants in the interview pool.

It is okay to exhibit pride in your career accomplishments. Align them with the role you're contending for. Your example doesn't necessarily have to be groundbreaking. Whether you formed a team for the first time and fostered a greater sense of teamwork in a collaborative environment or developed a system that improved workflow and saved the company money, this question is about how you gauge success and what you bring to the table.
