It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments in your field. Talking about your most significant professional achievement will give the interviewer a definite idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and your core values.

Describe your most significant accomplishment as it relates to your career. The interviewer is not asking for a personal achievement but rather a professional one. Think of any awards or promotions you have achieved or a large fire you solved that was difficult to investigate.

Avoid not having an accomplishment you are proud to have achieved. If the interviewer feels that you are not motivated to reach professional achievements and succeed in your profession, they may pass you over for another candidate. If you are new to the field, you can respond that your most significant accomplishment was achieving your goal of becoming a Certified Arson Investigator.

"The greatest accomplishment in my investigative career was being named IAAI Fire Investigator of the Year last year. I determined a person was wrongfully accused of one count of aggravated arson and two counts of child endangerment. I used the scientific method and my investigative skills, resulting in a dismissal of all charges. It felt great to be recognized for my hard work and determination."
