QUESTION 19 OF 34

Tell me about your greatest accomplishment in law enforcement

Talking about your greatest accomplishment will give the interviewer a strong idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future. It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments within law enforcement.

Anonymous Answer

My greatest accomplishment was passing the military entrance exam. I'm not a great test-taker, and I failed the exam the first time. I reached out to someone to assist me with studying and when the time came to retake the exam, I passed. I actually did so well that I tripled my score, so I had to do a retest. I was worried about possibly failing again, but I kept a positive and confident attitude.

Rachelle's Feedback

This is a terrific accomplishment to bring up in your interview! It's so cool that you tripled your score after getting someone to coach you through the studying/test-taking process. You must have felt very proud!
