Talking about your most significant accomplishment will give the interviewer a firm idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future.

"I thrive in a team environment, and my greatest work-related accomplishment was the result of a team I led that was tasked with implementing a new fundraising event. We needed to raise an additional 100,000 to meet our fundraising goal for the year, and we had a limited budget with which to do it. I recommended a social media campaign driven by each of my team members. I assigned them the task of recruiting five of our current donors or volunteers to challenge their followers to donate to help us reach our goal. It was a simple strategy that was effective because my team developed a winning tagline and attractive messaging to support our volunteers' and donors' efforts. We reached our financial goal!"

"At the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, it became obvious that delivering hot meals daily to our Meals on Wheels clients was no longer feasible due to many of their immunocompromised situations. Therefore, I secured a partnership with our local food bank to develop a program that provided shelf-stable meals that could be delivered once a week instead of daily. I worked with our Corporate Relations Officer to procure sponsorship from FedEx, so we were able to continue to provide food to our clients during an uncertain time."

Highlight an achievement related to the position to which you are applying. It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments! However, also demonstrate humility and show appreciation to anyone who assisted you along the way to achieving this.
