Tell me about an accomplishment you are the most proud of.
Interviewers are interested in finding out what you've achieved and what matters to you. Tell the interviewer about the accomplishment you are the proudest of, preferably in a professional capacity and related to the position you are applying for. Alternatively, provide any accomplishment in another professional capacity, in a volunteer capacity, or in a university setting. Make sure to come prepared with at least one example of your accomplishments, and use the S.T.A.R. method (stands for situation, task, action, result) to describe your experience.
"The accomplishment I am the proudest of is managing a very large park planning project on a very tight deadline (... detailed information pertaining to this project, such as the company name, and so on). As a result, I developed strong project and time management skills that will undoubtedly enable me to thrive in this role at your company."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Good. You have taken the right approach in choosing an accomplishment related to the position you are applying for. However, I would recommend expanding on your answer to included additional details about the project, including the objective(s) that was set out for you, the steps you took to meet the objective(s), and the final result of your action was. Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to organize your response and ensure you are providing the interviewer with the right amount of information.
