Kimberly-Clark likes to hire employees who take pride in their work. Tell me about your greatest work-related accomplishment.
If you take the time to read about the core values at Kimberly-Clark before your interview, one that should stand out is "we care." Kimberly-Clark cares about its people, its communities, and everyone they serve. This commitment to caring takes a deep sense of pride and passion from all staff. Your interview needs to hear about the pride you take in your work-related accomplishments to determine how you'll do the same in this role.
"The greatest accomplishment of my career thus far was graduating from college as an honors student while working full-time in a related field. I was at the top of my class, plus working full time. This showed me that I could dedicate myself to my career and reach the goals that I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and to be recognized for my dedication."
"My greatest career accomplishment so far is being promoted the fastest in the entire organization's history and topping it off by closing a major deal less than 48 hours later. I was not only proud of myself; I also received accolades from the VP of Sales in front of the entire company, which was a really special moment. I took a pay cut to move into my original role, so to exceed expectations, be promoted, and be financially ahead of where I was previously was exhilarating."
Before your interview with Kimberly-Clark, consider what you feel is your greatest work-related accomplishment. As you answer this question, make clear that your hard work, dedication, and passion led to this accomplishment and are why you are so proud of it.
"Last year, I was recognized by the CEO of my current company for providing over and above service for a big client that traveled in town from overseas. While I helped coordinate their travel and hotel, I took it upon myself to meet their group upon arrival and show them around town. I gave recommendations for dinner and entertainment, and they had nothing but the best to say to our sales leaders and CEO when they met."

I take pride in all the work I perform, to be honest. I work to say my greatest accomplishment was joking with the boilermakers which open the doors to many opportunities with welding and maintenance background.
Marcie's Feedback
The interviewer will be happy to hear that you take pride in all of your work. Can you provide more details about your greatest accomplishment? What exactly did you do to the boilermakers and how did this benefit others? What kind of work did you put in beforehand to be able to achieve this goal? And why did it make you feel proud? The more details you can give, the better!
