Not everyone knows how they define or evaluate their success. For some people, it's about the title they achieve. For others, it's a certain salary. You may evaluate your success daily using another metric. There is no wrong answer to this question, but since it's not something we often think about, be sure to prepare for such a question.

Think about how you have succeeded in the past. When things come easily to you, it's easy to believe that everyone is good at that skill, but your successes are unique and can provide further insight into your natural talents. Your description of these successes will allow the hiring party to ensure that the role will match your unique talents.

"I evaluate my success in two ways: short-term and long-term. I am a list maker, so I routinely write down my goals for the week. I define success as completing the items on my list. I say this is successful because it reflects that I managed my time as I expected and that I had realistic goals set. In the long term, I rely on feedback to evaluate if I am being successful. If clients refer their friends and family, I believe that is a success. When my partner assigned me a challenging project, I thought of that as a success because it showed that he trusted me and appreciated my previous work."
