QUESTION 3 OF 30

What was your greatest accomplishment as a structural engineer?

This is your chance to talk about something in your career or professional life that you are extremely proud of. A simple entry on a resume or a credential won't do this accomplishment justice, so it's important to give as much detail as you can and highlight why you feel so proud of what you've done. This can be a specific project that was completed successfully, an award you won, or a credential you received after months of studying.

"My greatest accomplishment so far as a structural engineer was studying for and passing the S.E. exam. It is such a grueling process preparing for the test, and the exam itself is no joke. I was so elated when I found out I had passed."

Anonymous Answer

My greatest accomplishment would be the research I did as a doctoral student and the contributions I made to the scientific community. It was a product of a lot of hard work and commitment and I am glad to see it coming to fruition.

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! It sounds like the research you did and the contributions you made were impressive and the result of lots of time and effort. Consider talking more about what kind of research you did and what exactly your contributions were so that your interviewer gets the full picture.
