Procter and Gamble values having a passion for winning in their respective markets and your interviewer wants to get a sense that you are driven and motivated to succeed by having you talk about your greatest accomplishment on the job. As you answer, they'll also be looking to gauge your personal values put into your work.
"The greatest accomplishment of my career, thus far, was graduating from college as an honors student, all while still 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. I believe that this kind of work ethic will fit well within P&G's culture of passion for winning, strategic focus, and innovation."
"My greatest career accomplishment so far is being promoted to a senior-level manager position in my current role and topping it off by closing a major deal less than 48 hours later. I was not only proud of myself but also received accolades from the VP of Sales in front of the entire company, which was a really special moment. I look forward to applying this same work ethic to P&G's environment of innovation, mastery, and seeking to be the best."

Your accomplishment can come from the success of a big project, going the extra mile to help a customer, or even from your education. No matter how you answer, make sure it shows your interviewer that you would join their team as a motivated person that comes to Procter and Gamble ready to help them win. It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments!
