My greatest work-related accomplishment is earning the ability to train new incoming classes due to my understanding of the job requirements and internal policies. 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.
