Because of my efficiency and accuracy, I was requested to train new hires on our procedures and policies. I felt like I made a direct impact that was recognized by upper management."

      Kristine's Feedback

      Great example! The employer will be interested to know an employer had faith in your abilities to provide training to new hires, especially if conducting training is part of the job that you are interviewing for. You can round out your answer by sharing how you performed your new responsibility, for example, by pointing out if your training efforts were successful. I reworded your response slightly to incorporate this suggestion.
      "My greatest work-related accomplishment was when my employer asked me to begin training new incoming classes. My employer explained they chose me because I did my job efficiently and accurately and because I had a strong understanding of job requirements and internal policies. It felt great to be recognized by upper management and to have the chance to share my knowledge with new employees. As for training the recruits, it was a success, and I felt like I was making a real contribution to the company."
