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.

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.
