When you are asked what according to you was your key achievement in the past 12 months, you need to pick something that is outstanding. This should also be relevant to the job position your are interviewing for.

Such questions are fairly typical of those you will be presented with when applying for a job

As with most things, it is all about preparation. If you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail. There are many 'standard' questions. There are no standard answers as most are asking about you personally. Because of that no one but yourself can answer many of the questions you will be asked. Think about such questions in advance and have your answers ready. There are many sources of the type of questions you may be presented with. The internet and your local library being the main ones. Be positive; do not repeat what you have read in books or on the Internet. By all means read sample answers but do not repeat them verbatim. The person interviewing you will have read all those answers too.

There is more to having a successful job interview than just answering the questions asked. Many would say much more. First impressions count for far more than many realise.

Dress for the part. Be punctual and polite. Listen to what is being said. Answer only the question asked. (Don't ramble)

With whatever your key achievements in the job were. It's a fairly straightforward question.

If you did something that resulted in a tangible (positive) impact on the business, list that by all means, with specifics. If the guy who had your job before you sold one widget, and you sold two, "Increased widget revenue 100%" would be a key achievement.

We're not suggesting that you lie; to the contrary, you should be scrupulously honest (as with everything else on the job application). However, this is really an invitation for you to brag about anything that you actually did do, so don't be afraid to blow your own horn a bit. If you developed anything, or improved anything, or changed some process to be (even a litttle) more efficient (you asked your boss if you could use a wheelbarrow to move bags of manure, and this allowed you to move 25 bags per hour from the stockroom to the floor while everyone else carried them by hand and moved 20 per hour ... "Pioneered the use of technology to improve transportation efficiency 25%")... mention it!

You need to be prepared for questions like: What do you consider to be your most significant accomplishment's and/or improvements in the past 12 months. Think about events in your ordinary life, whether you are a student or new graduate. Some ideas might be:

  1. A Junior in high school had a terrible time learning French. He loved the language but couldn't speak it very well. After getting a D grade on his mid-term test, he sought a tutor and online videos. Within a few weeks, he was able to bring his grade up to a B-minus. He viewed this as a significant accomplishment because he wants to go to college in France. He has begun tutoring students from other high schools, which shows initiative and volunteerism.
  2. Another boy had spent most of 8th and 9th grade playing Video Games and not caring very much about schoolwork. But one day when rushing home to play a war game, he spotted his elderly neighbor on a ladder replacing the porch light bulb. He went to help. They hit it off. The older man said the boy was "a true helper!" The next month, the boy decided to visit his neighbors to see who needed help. And thus the boy created "Hands for Seniors", charging a very small fee for small jobs around the seniors' homes.
  3. A girl liked hanging out at the mall with her girlfriends. But her friends liked to bully others. The girl started a community awareness campaign against bullies. She got kids to sign an anti-bullying pledge. Her group now has 50 members.
  4. Another girl went to school and back to home. She couldn't do after school activities because she had to help her disabled mom after school so her dad could go to work. Though she often felt ashamed because she felt "different", the last year has felt different. She realized she has some wonderful gifts and talents with helping someone who is ill. She started paying more attention in science classes and plans to attend nursing school, to honor her mother and serve others. Last month, she attended workshops through the Red Cross and is now a volunteer on one of their disaster teams.
  5. A young woman didn't finish HS because she got pregnant. She thought her life was over, stuck with a boyfriend who hit her and made her miserable. But at night, she studied for her G.E.D--and passed with a high score! She knew a G.E.D. would improve her life and her baby's life.
  6. A young man had gotten in with the wrong crowd and was often truant from school. But when he turned 17, he realized he would soon graduate from HS. He set up a study schedule and caught up with his work, earning straight Bs. After school he met with the librarian who tutored him on subjects he failed in 9th and 10th grades. Though he would never get better grades on his 9th and 10th grade report cards, he felt proud that he decided to go backward to go forward. He knew the information would help him throughout his life.

Employers are not upset that people make mistakes. Employers look for how you turned it around, what you did to improve, and how you did it. If you can only say "Mom wanted me to study harder", it doesn't have as much impact as a goal YOU set for yourself. "I had a problem--but this is what I did about it."
