How do you define success?
"I evaluate success based not only on my work but also on the work of my team. In order for me to be considered successful, the team needs to achieve both our individual and our team goals."
This question is intended to give your potential employer a sense of your work ethic, goals, and overall personality. The qualities that most employers are looking for include determination, motivation, drive, enthusiasm, and a shared collaborative vision. Answer this question by mentioning what constitutes success for you, such as meeting all deadlines and being recognized as a team player by your employer. Do not mention monetary incentives. The objective is to show the interviewer you wish to grow as a professional, not simply be rewarded monetarily.
"Success is meeting my daily, weekly, monthly and annual goals and being recognized as a hardworking professional by my employer. If over the course of my career, I can leave work each day satisfied that I've accomplished something, or learned something new or useful, this also counts as success to me. Ultimately, the company's success is my success."
