QUESTION 17 OF 24

How will you measure the success of your work?

This question is designed to see how you hold yourself accountable for your job responsibilities and it gives the interviewer an idea of your work ethic.
You can answer this question by describing goals you set in the workplace. These can be daily/weekly/monthly/yearly goals pertaining to completing specific tasks and projects. The goals should be measurable - you can use your goals from a previous job as an example - your goal was to process a "X" number of invoices, update the general ledger, and reconcile a "Y" number of accounts in one day - you consider the day successful because you completed all of these tasks error-free.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I set up personal goals that correspond with the company's KPIs. Under the current circumstances, my daily goals are to process 50 invoices daily, generate CRM cases on time, and respond queries within given SLAs. I consider my day to be successful when I complete these tasks error-free.

Cindy's Feedback

Good start. This question is an opportunity to also highlight past successes. You have the beginnings here by talking about your daily goals. Have you reached your goal? How often?
