How do you evaluate success?
The interviewer wants to understand your work ethic, personality, goals, and shared collaboration with others. When you include your team in your accomplishments, it shows you are a team player and not self-centered.
Focus on relating your response to your profession. Suppose you evaluate success as finding a person who committed arson using your and your team's scientific analysis and investigative skills. In that case, you could respond that you evaluate success based on the positive outcomes of your work and that of your team.
When responding to this question, avoid saying that you evaluate success by how much money you make each year or your savings in your bank account. The interviewer wants to hear that you evaluate success by effectively doing your job and achieving your goals.
"I evaluate success based on the outcomes of the work that my team and I perform. When we effectively identify the person who committed arson and bring them to justice, that is a success."
