What has been your most rewarding accomplishment?
"My greatest accomplishment so far has been my promotion to assistant manager at the retail store I previously worked at. I started off as a sales clerk but learned the job quickly and worked extra hours whenever I could. I became the youngest member of the management team."
The interviewer wants to hear about something you are proud of. If you have an accomplishment related to the job or the company, this would be a great example to share. In your response, be sure to mention how it relates to the position or how it has prepared you for it.
If you don't have a work-related accomplishment, that is ok too. Share the details of your accomplishment but more importantly, share why it made you proud. Perhaps it allowed you to put new skills to test, or you overcame something challenging. Or maybe your accomplishment had a special meaning to you. Whatever your reason, be sure to express it to the interviewer.
"My greatest accomplishment so far has been getting into the college of my dreams. I knew it was a hard school to get into so I worked really hard in high school to maintain a high GPA and also participated in activities that would prepare me for a future career. It was stressful at times, but I was so proud when I received my acceptance letter."
