How do you evaluate success?
"I evaluate success by meeting and achieving the goals that my employer sets out for me. I am a high achiever and like to know that I am delivering more than my employer expected."
"There are two parts to how I evaluate success. One is how I deliver my work. The second is the performance of my team. I know that the team needs to over-achieve before we can all be proud of a job well-done."
The interviewer is asking you this question to see your level of excitement when it comes to succeeding in the workplace. If you stumble over this question or answer with an 'I don't know' this shows the interviewer that you are a 'go to work, go home' type of person. Tell the interviewer how you evaluate your own success and give an example.
"I evaluate my success by how quickly and efficiently I learn a new process. I was introduced to the CAM/CAD system last month and am already using it without the lead technicians instruction. I'm very proud with how quickly I picked it up."
