Question 2 of 35

At Medtronic, we highly value the ability of our employees to achieve results. What do you consider your greatest achievement to date in your career?

"As a relatively young software engineer, my greatest achievement so far is the project I just completed in creating a user-facing web app for my current organization. Upon being handed the lead on the project, I was given a very short time frame of four months for completion and a pretty standard budget. Through successful coordination and leading of a team of individuals and diligence in setting benchmark goals for the project, the project was completed successfully two weeks before the deadline and over $10,000 under the budget. This was a huge success for me personally and for my department. I think that this project prepared me well for bigger and better things in this role with Medtronic."

      2nd Answer Example

      "With my current organization, I was recognized with the prestigious Sales Person of the Year award two years ago, and I consider this one of my greatest achievements in my career due to the dedication I put forth in achieving the award. With a staff of over 150 sales reps, I set my sights on the award as the New Year turned over. Knowing that 10% new customer growth and 25% volume growth were pre-requisites for the award, and for good reason, I focused first on gaining great new customers knowing that volume would likely follow. Through a focused approach to growing my numbers, I grew my new customers by 22% that year and saw a volume increase of almost 40% over the year prior. When awarded at our annual banquet in front of our entire team, the accomplishment hit home and made me realize that a focused approach to the daily grind of sales goes a long way in personal success and the success of the organization that I represent."
