What is your greatest professional achievement so far?

"My greatest accomplishment is graduating with a 4.0 and Summa Cum Laude honors. I worked hard throughout school to complete assignments on time and to the best of my ability. I was dedicated and never late to class. I am also proud of the network of other students I created by building and maintaining relationships."

"The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating from university as an honors student while working full-time in a related field. I was at the top of my class and working full-time. This achievement showed me I could dedicate myself to my career and reach the goals I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and be recognized for my dedication."

Often, an achievement is honored with high praise from a manager or an award. Think back to the times you received explicit recognition for the difference you made. Remember that numbers speak volumes! Whenever possible, point to quantitative results and offer a concrete example of your achievement. That will give the interviewer at Pepsi a clear idea of your past professional success and what you will add to the team.

"I was the top sales leader at my most recent company. I think I did so well because of my consistency in following up with customers. I checked in with them daily and met my personal sales goals every week. My contribution helped them increase sales that year by 25%!"
