Being able to face a challenge or stressful situation, and still gain some accomplishment, in the end, is very satisfying. Talk to the interviewer about a time when you were able to come out on top despite being faced with an obstacle.

"In my career, so far, I feel that the most difficult accomplishment for me to achieve were the three back-to-back promotions in my current company. Because promotions are granted based on results, I had to put in a lot of overtime hours, and hustle, to get there."

"My proudest accomplishment to date was completing my Degree in Chemical Engineering while also being a single parent to two young boys. The level of dedication that I had to give to both my family and my education was very tough. I couldn't be prouder of myself for never giving up."

The most difficult accomplishment for me to achieve was becoming a full-time IFF employee during a global pandemic. Lots of companies, including IFF, were on a hiring freeze- but I did not let this discourage me. I kept trying my best and going out of my way to have more responsibility to continually prove the type of employee I am.

This is a great starting place! However, you can improve this answer by providing more detail. What did you do, or in what way, did you stand out as a new hire candidate? How have you grown in responsibility? What qualities or characteristics have you honed that make you a valuable member of the IFF team? Sharing this information gives the interviewer clearer insight into your work ethic, values, and skills.
