The interviewer will ask about your greatest personal achievement to see what inspires and motivates you. How you respond shows the interviewer what you value and perceive as an achievement. They will also know if you set personal goals and follow through to reach your dreams. What you achieve in your personal life reflects on your professional life, as well.

Avoid mentioning an achievement that might be considered immature or unprofessional, even though it is a personal achievement. An example would be saying that your greatest personal achievement is winning a beer pong champion title while attending college or something else along those lines.

"My greatest personal achievement was training for and completing the Ironman competition, placing in the top five in my age group. I'd never competed in anything before and decided a year before the race to start training. My goal was to be in the top five, which I accomplished. To date, that has been my greatest personal achievement."
