Tell me about your greatest work related accomplishment. How would this be relevant if you came to work for Uber?
Talking about your most significant accomplishment will give the interviewer a firm idea of where you place your values. It will give your interviewer some insight into your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future if you were to join the team at Uber. Your answer should help your interviewer understand if your ethic aligns well with the Uber values of valuing ideas over hierarchy. Prior to your interview, be sure to think of the work accomplishment that can best demonstrate future success at Uber.
"The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating from college with my bachelor's degree as an honor student while still working full-time to support my education. This accomplishment 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 gain recognition for my dedication. In preparing to work at Uber, I think my drive to succeed will be very beneficial for me to get up and running on the job."

My greatest career accomplishment so far has been managing to get an economics masters. I have a bachelor's in engineering and was working as an engineer a few years ago. I decided I wanted more but I wouldn't do it unless I made it into one of the top 2 schools in Mexico. When I did get into Colmex, I left my job to pursue my goal. 400 people applied for the program and only 15 of us graduated 2 years later. I am very proud of it and it proves my capacity to take on new challenges, adapt to change quickly and effectively and learn new things overall. I know at Uber those three skills will be very much relevant and valued.
