Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

They want to know if you equate success to 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 your motivators.

Kevin Downey

"I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. On a personal level, the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, the targets that are set out for me as well as the professional development that I seek."

Kevin Downey

"I define success by what we achieve as a team. The project, as a whole, needs to deliver on expectations before I consider the job a success."

Kevin Downey

Break down what success means to you across all fronts; short-term goals, long-term goals, the big picture, and how to get there while protecting the company's assets. Tell the interviewer how you view success through this lens and be sure to mention the success you plan to bring to this position should they should offer you the role. Consider your personality. There can be more than one answer to this question.

Kevin Downey

Speak from the heart. 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. Effectively communicating how you weigh success in your interview could lead to being placed in a position more suited to your personality and skills. Morale is a great determiner of productivity. Answer honestly and consider what motivates you to be successful in your desired work environment.
