When the interviewer asks this question, they want to learn more about you than what is on your resume. While you can pack a lot into a resume, some achievements, recognition, or awards don't make it due to room on your resume or CV. Give an example of a professional achievement you are proud of relative to the position of construction manager.

While you can tell the interviewer a personal achievement that is not on your resume, it is best to describe something about yourself that relates to the job position. Avoid talking at great length when answering this question, and be sure not to cite your resume word for word. The interviewer wants to learn something new about you that they have not already read or heard during the interview.

"Something that is not on my resume but I am proud of is being placed on the Dean's List four years in a row at Everglades University. I achieved commendation for maintaining a 4.0 cumulative GPA throughout eight semesters as a full-time student while also working full-time in construction."
